Karnataka BJP To Stage Large-Scale Protest Over Congress Govt's 'Neglect' Of Bengaluru On May 28

On the reason for the protest, Vijayendra highlighted several issues plaguing the city, including pothole-ridden roads and ineffective garbage management.

Karnataka BJP President B.Y. Vijayendra announced on Friday that the party will stage a large-scale protest on May 28 to condemn the disorderliness and chaos in the state capital, Bengaluru. The announcement followed a meeting at the party headquarters, where Vijayendra and other party leaders discussed the pressing issues plaguing the city.

"The roads in the city are all blocked, and vehicular movement comes to a standstill following two days of rain. There are people in Bengaluru who pay the highest taxes. Ever since the new government took over not a single rupee has been granted for the development of Bengaluru," Vijayendra alleged, expressing frustration over the city’s infrastructure.

He criticized the current administration, claiming that despite assurances from the city commissioner about preparedness for heavy rainfall, the situation remains dire. "The commissioner says they are prepared to face any eventuality, even in the case of heavy rainfall. However, the statement has remained just a speech, and the shortcomings in the system remain the same. The government has hiked taxes on properties and for vehicle registration, but it has not helped the people of Bengaluru," he said.

Vijayendra highlighted several issues plaguing the city, including pothole-ridden roads and ineffective garbage management. He pointed out that although Bengaluru has a significant number of ministers, the city's development has been neglected. "Though there are maximum number of ministers from Bengaluru, no one is bothered about the development of the city," he added.

The protest is aimed to draw attention to these issues and demand justice for the people of Bengaluru. "This is not a protest staged for the sake of it. It is strategised in a manner so that solutions are found for the issues," Vijayendra asserted.

During the meeting, which included MLAs, former MLAs, and corporators from Bengaluru, the BJP leaders discussed the problems in detail and planned the protest to ensure it effectively addresses the city’s crises.
