BENGALURU: The Karnataka government has reiterated its commitment to establishing five municipal corporations in Bengaluru under the newly formed Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA).

Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, who also serves as the Bengaluru Development Minister and Bengaluru Urban District In-Charge, addressed the concerns raised in a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) questioning the legality of forming five corporations under the GBA.

"Anyone has the right to raise objections; there is nothing wrong with that. It is their democratic right and cannot be curtailed. If there are any errors in our process, we will rectify them. But the government remains committed to creating five municipal corporations in Bengaluru, " Shivakumar said.
