There is no proper answer where BBMP is using the funds. The State’s Fiscal Discipline Act and Karnataka Transparency Act has been violated by the civic body. BBMP claim to have spent Rs 17,410.57 lakh under the Central Reserve Funds (CRF), however there is no such records to show on which project the money has been spent.
