The opposition BJP boycotted the first meeting of the larger Bengalur (GBA) on Friday and claimed that the meeting and agenda were very late. They said that the meeting is scheduled to take over the question of limiting the powers of the selected GBA organ, which is against the spirit of decentralization.
Late notification
When he focuses on a press conference in Bengalur, R. Ashok, the opposition leader in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, he claimed that the opposition members received notifications concerning GBA meetings only on Friday morning, although it should be given a week in advance according to standards. Similarly, they were given the meeting agenda only four hours before the meeting. “How can we prepare for a meeting if the agenda is given so late?” he asked.
“The agenda of the meeting, which proposes to reduce the powers of the elected GBA members, goes against the spirit of 74. Amendment to the Constitution. This would mean that the government will play a dual role of adopting resolutions in the GBA and then approve them.
He argued that the government intentionally maintained the agenda of mystery until the day of the meeting to prevent any public debate.
Consultation with JD (s)
Mr. Ashok said that the decision to boycott the GBA meeting was adopted after consultation with the leader of JD (s) and the Minister of the HD Kumaraswama trade unions. BJP would not mind attending GBA meetings if they deal with problems concerning the development of the city of Bengalur, he said.
He accused the government of a hurry to create a GBA, and expressed concern that there were no loyal halls that would even organize GBA meetings or its corporations.
Similarly, the GBA faced a lack of more than 4,000 employees, including doctors and engineers, and wondered if it would be possible for the new power to function effectively with such a shortage in the labor force.
Vijayendry President also also received an exception to delayed information about GBA meetings and accused the government of shaping such a body without preparation.
On the seizures of the ed
When he talked about reports under the media that ED confiscated cash at the 300 GBP Crore melody, which was supposed to finance Bihar surveys for Congress, Mr. Ashok asked if someone needed more evidence to say that the Karnatak congress government was a “Congress command”.
