Bengaluru Metro Row: Congress, BJP Clash Over Centre's Funding Share
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurates a new stretch of Bengaluru's Pink Line, but the Metro expansion has triggered a political face-off between the Congress and BJP. The Karnataka government has questioned the Centre's financial contribution, demanding a larger share of funds and faster approvals for upcoming projects. While the state says it is shouldering a disproportionate share of the expenditure, the BJP has challenged its calculations, particularly the inclusion of BMRCL loans. Amid the political blame game, questions remain over funding, accountability and Bengaluru's growing infrastructure needs.
