Civic body to focus on COVID-19 related works, monsoon preparation this fiscal
It’s been nearly two months since the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) 2021-22 budget was approved by the then Administrator Gaurav Gupta, who is now the Chief Commissioner. However, it has not been accorded approval by the Karnataka government.
The civic body is yet to send the budget to the State government.
On March 27, BBMP Special Commissioner (Finance) Tulasi Madineni presented a surplus budget with an outlay of ₹9,291.33 crore. In the absence of an elected council, Mr. Gupta had approved the ‘realistic budget’ that prioritised decentralisation and fiscal discipline.

This was only bringing to the fore a long-held complaint against the Chief Minister – that he is too preoccupied to focus on the city despite holding the portfolio of Bengaluru Development.
