Despite completing 100 days in office, Deputy Chief Minister and Bengaluru Development Minister DK Shivakumar seemingly did not give his go-ahead for civic projects.
This is evident from the incomplete works on roads, primary drains and lakes.
Barring a few Congress-represented assembly segments, the neglected civic works have been widespread since the Opposition BJP holds a majority of constituencies in Bengaluru. Project sites where work was halted before the assembly polls remain the same months later without activity.
Contractors had initially stopped work in protest against the government’s probe on the BBMP’s works, anticipating more delays in releasing outstanding payments.
