The Opposition Congress MLAs from Bengaluru on Friday lashed out at the BJP government for “glaring discrimination” in the reservation of 243 wards in the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), which they claimed was against the public interest and to the advantage of the BJP MLAs and MPs.
A majority of wards have been reserved for women candidates in constituencies held by the Opposition Congress MLAs. The Delimitation Committee has blatantly violated reservation guidelines while reserving wards, alleged Congress MLAs Ramalinga Reddy, Rizwan Arshad, B.Z. Zameer Ahmed, Krishna Byre Gowda, Dinesh Gundu Rao and MP D.K. Suresh.
