Addressing a press conference soon after it became clear that the BJP has captured BBMP Council with complete majority, Yeddyurappa said the government will implement all promises made in the party manifesto in a time bound manner to make Bangalore a “model global metro”.
Action plan
He said an action plan for over Rs 22,500 crore had already been prepared and would be implemented over the next three years. The Bangalore Regional Governance Bill which among others envisages decentralising administration to the ward-level will be put in place soon. ÒThis will ensure better coordination and enable empowering ward-level committees. It will also bring increased accountability and efficiency in planning and execution of works”, he said.
In order to ease the traffic-related problems, the State government has already written to Ministry of Railways for a circular train in Bangalore.
Comprehensive improvements of all water bodies in BBMP areas would be taken up in the next three years, he added.
