BJP MPs oppose Bengaluru tunnel road project, cite environmental concerns
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Members of Parliament have announced their opposition to the proposed Bengaluru tunnel road project. They allege that the state government has weakened environmental safeguards and amended regulations, specifically mentioning the Bangalore Metropolitan Land Revenue Act (BMLTA) and rules concerning tanks. The MPs stated their intention to oppose the project, citing concerns over its environmental impact. Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar responded by challenging the BJP, suggesting they should try to stop similar projects in Maharashtra and Delhi, and attributing any 'curse' on Bengaluru to the BJP.
