Congress will give Bengaluru a ‘historic transformation’, party leader DK Shivakumar said on Tuesday. The Karnataka Congress has formed a ‘Better Bengaluru Action Committee’ for this, he added.
In a series of tweets on Tuesday, the Congress leader said, “From 2023 till 2028, Congress will give Bengaluru a historic transformation, making it one of the world’s best cities to live in, work and enjoy good quality life. To make this happen, we need to solve city’s traffic problems and make it battle-ready for climate change.”
“The Better Bengaluru Action Plan Committee is preparing the blueprint for Bengaluru’s future,” he said.
Shivakumar also invited suggestions and ideas.
He said this isn’t a political effort. “No matter which party you support, please engage with this committee for a Better Bengaluru. We want to hear from students, homemakers, resident associations, civil society, IT workers, startups & anyone who wants a Better Bengaluru,” he said.
Elections for Bengaluru municipal corporation – Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike, polls likely to be held later this year.
His comment comes on the backdrop of the Karnataka capital city facing severe flooding following heavy rainfall.
Karnataka assembly elections are also set to be held in 2023.
