Urgent Request to Conduct BBMP Election | Day 3 Demand
Respected Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar,
Garbage is plaguing Bengaluru. BBMP hardly collects garbage. One of our volunteers reached out to a local MLA to help with the regular collection of garbage in his area. He was scolded by the MLA, who said his job is not to collect garbage but to make laws.
If the MLA cannot help, who will ensure garbage collection in the absence of elected BBMP corporators? We do not want to approach the Office of the Chief Minister, Karnataka for garbage collection.
Please conduct BBMP elections and transfer some power back into citizens’ hands. It is painful to see our city sink to such lows in our #NammaBengaluru.
Yours sincerely,
Citizens of East Bengaluru
Urgent Request to Conduct BBMP Election | Day 2 Demand
Respected Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar,
Yesterday, a Class 7 student fell and broke his right hand while cycling to school due to potholes on the road. This incident may not affect the day-to-day functioning of your offices, but the child and his family will have to suffer the consequences for an entire year. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. There are countless similar stories that citizens of Bengaluru face every day because of poor road conditions.
Whenever we approach our Member of Parliament regarding road safety, we are referred to the local MLA. The MLA, in turn, says that BBMP will handle the issue. However, BBMP rarely does. With no elected body in place, there is no accountability and no one the citizens can hold responsible.
We urge you to conduct BBMP elections and transfer some power back into the hands of citizens. It is painful to see our city descend to such lows in our #NammaBengaluru.
Yours sincerely,
Citizens of East Bengaluru
