Bengaluru, Aug 18: The ruling Congress has released a 50-point “charge sheet” on the misrule and various misdeeds allegedly committed during the BJP rule in the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).

Five State Ministers, including Ramalinga Reddy and K J George, representing the City in the Siddaramaiah government, said the City’s infrastructure suffered owing to bad management of the civic body by the BJP.

The ruling Congress party in its detailed booklet on the misrule and misdeeds during the BJP rule of BBMP, which was officially released in Bengaluru on Tuesday, said it was an attempt to unveil the real face of the BJP.

The Congress leaders asked the voters to reject the Opposition party candidates in the coming BBMP elections to ensure better governance of the city next five years.

The five-year BJP ruled BBMP was marked by a series of scandals, including Rs 2400 crore work and job code scam, they said.

The Ministers alleged that thousands of crores of rupees released by the State and Central governments to the City were either swindled or misused by the former BJP councillors.

George said the City lost the Smart City project owing to inefficiency of three Union Ministers representing the City.

They maintained that the BJP failed to mobilise resources to take up developmental works and pushed the once cash rich civic body to the brink of bankruptcy by pledging iconic assets.

There was a huge disparity in budget proposals and actual sanction of funds to project by the BBMP during 2010-15.
