BBMP Budget presentation postponed again, now scheduled for Saturday

The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has once again postponed its annual budget presentation, further delaying key financial plans for the city’s infrastructure and development. Initially scheduled for March 27, the budget was first deferred to March 28. Now, in a second postponement, the civic body has pushed the presentation to Saturday at 11 AM. The repeated delays have raised eyebrows among Bengaluru’s residents, urban planners, and civic activists, who argue that such uncertainty reflects a lack of proper planning and coordination within the BBMP. The budget is crucial for addressing the city’s pressing issues, including road infrastructure, waste management, and drainage systems. However, the repeated rescheduling has led to concerns about the transparency and efficiency of the civic administration. Many have taken to social media to express their frustration over the delays, highlighting that Bengaluru’s growing civic problems require urgent financial planning and implementation. Some users pointed out that while the BBMP struggles to finalize its budget, the city continues to grapple with pothole-ridden roads, flooding concerns, and traffic congestion. Others criticized the lack of accountability, questioning why the budget presentation is being postponed multiple times without a clear explanation.
