BBMP seeks Rs 7,000 cr for civic works ahead of budget
The BBMP has sent a proposal seeking a fresh grant of Rs 7,000 crore allocation in the state budget to be presented on Friday.
While the state government is unlikely to approve the entire sum, speculations are rife that Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai will allocate a substantial sum for Bengaluru keeping the Assembly polls in mind.
It is customary for the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to request funds from the state government ahead of the budget, while the state would allocate anywhere between Rs 3,000 crore and Rs 4,000 crore for the city development.
