How will the BBMP reach out to the communities that, unlike English-speaking, socially mobile communities don’t have resources like slum-dwellers or homeless people.

For good governance, it is pivotal to have the five principles: adaptive governance, deepening democracy, social justice, economic vibrancy and decentralised system, which is amiss in the budget.”
