| Summary, etc |
The Government of Karnataka (GoK) is reported to be activel considering reorganisation of Bengaluru's local governance framework by replacing the present Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palika (BBMP) Act, 2020. The Basis for this initiative seems to be the report submitted by the Expert Committee on BBMP Restructuring in June 2015 with the recommendation to replace the BBMP with a cluster of five municipal corporations(MCs) in the Bengaluru metropolitan area, to ensure better quality of life for its citizens by providing quality infrastructure and services and ensuring accountability of public service providers. However, this move is fraught with distrust by many sections of the residents as it is bound to further defer the elections to the city government, which have already been delayed by nearly 4 years. There are also reports that some sections of the political leadership apparently may be looking to exploit this opportunity to gain electrol dividends by drawing the boundries of the prospective five MCs in a manner favourable to them. Therefore, it is important to understand the nature of the reforms proposed, whether they are adequate enough to meet the said objectives and to ensure that the government is willing to navigate the reform path in right earnestness with transparency. - Reproduced |
