BJP announces week-long campaign against garbage and pothole issues in Bengaluru

The Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced a week-long campaign against Bengaluru’s “garbage disposal problem and pothole issues”.

BJP held a meeting of all Bengaluru MLAs and MPs on Tuesday, following which the party announced a signature campaign against the ruling Congress government.

“Due to the misgovernance of the Congress government, Bengaluru has turned into a garbage city. Potholes and piles of garbage are visible on all roads. We need to fight against the government that has betrayed the city, and it has been decided to conduct inspections for one week. Along with this, a signature collection campaign will be held in every assembly constituency from November 6 to 15,” Leader of Opposition in the Assembly, R. Ashok announced after the meeting. 

“We will also collect people’s opinion on the B Khata to A Khata conversion scheme, which we think is a scheme to extract money. The government has no funds for Bengaluru’s development. There is no need to take such steps to arrange that money. People cannot afford to pay so much. People do not want such an expensive brand Bengaluru. We need a Bengaluru that thinks about common people,” he said.
