ಅಣ್ಣ, accountability begins with understanding governance. MPs are lawmakers. The 74th Constitutional Amendment, brought by your own Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, gave urban local bodies like BBMP the responsibility to manage roads, drains, waste, and civic works. From 1985 to 2025, Congress ruled Karnataka for over 17 years and controlled BBMP for 26 years. Bengaluru’s civic mess is a direct result of that prolonged mismanagement. As an MP, my duty is to legislate, facilitate central funds, and ensure accountability in implementation, which I have consistently done. If you’re serious about accountability, start by asking your leaders why Congress-run BBMP and Congress-led state governments failed Bengaluru despite having every constitutional power and local control for decades.
