The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) is a proposed governing body that aims to centralize control over various para-statals and local governance schemes in Bengaluru.
Activists are concerned that the GBA will erode the autonomy of the BBMP and reduce the authority of elected local bodies, centralizing control in the hands of the government.
The 74th Constitutional Amendment, passed in 1992, aims to strengthen local self-government by providing constitutional status to urban local bodies and ensuring their autonomy.
The GBA bill is criticized for disrupting reservation rotations for marginalized communities, as frequent delimitation and creation of new municipalities favor elite candidates.
The ward committee in BBMP is an advisory body that provides recommendations on local issues. However, under the GBA, its role has been reduced, making its recommendations less effective.
