Opposition adamant about not splitting BBMP into multiple corporations

The Hindu  

The Congress-led government in Karnataka is working towards tabling the Greater Bengaluru Governance Bill, 2024, which aims to revamp the administration of the city with a multiple corporation set-up, in the upcoming monsoon session of the legislature, due to begin on July 15. However, the going may not be easy given the opposition to splitting Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike from the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Dal, who see the existing set-up as their legacy. BJP opted for bureaucratic decentralisation The BJP came to power in 2019 and brought in the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike Act, 2020, which provided for bureaucratic decentralisation under a single corporation, which the Congress described as a missed opportunity to fix Bengaluru’s woes. A senior minister in Bengaluru told The Hindu that the Congress has always maintained that the city is unmanageable in the existing single corporation set-up, and the civic administration needs to be split.
