Many of last year’s schemes go unimplemented
The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike is notorious for presenting inflated budgets and not implementing many projects announced. Non-starters Many welfare projects also remain unimplemented, as the BBMP, in the ATR, has claimed that “approval of competent authority is awaited.” Some of important welfare schemes that are yet to be implemented include the Mahatma Gandhi Swavalambana programme envisaged to fund 500 weavers, Badavara Dhwani to help street vendors buy pushcarts, and the Dr. V.S. The other schemes are providing sanitary pads to girl students in BBMP schools, providing scanning facility for pregnant women in all of the BBMP’s referral hospitals, financial assistance to communities engaged in burial grounds, construction of shelters for daily wage workers and houses for economically weaker sections. They lambasted the Mayor for presenting an “inflated budget” despite the government’s direction to present a “realistic budget based on revenue generated in the previous fiscal.” However, the outlay of this budget is smaller compared to previous fiscals. 107.50 from Ruling Party Leader N. Nagaraju, defending the proposals, said: “The budget has covered road development, improvement of parks, gives priority to improving the green cover and has many welfare schemes.”
