Shivkumar further said that the mayors and corporation members will have full rights according to the constitution. He also resolved the concerns of the legislators about village inclusion and financial assistance and said that the law banned the transfer of money to maintain constitutional compliance. We will discuss which villages should be included in it and if the opposition disagrees then we are ready to withdraw the amendment. Shivkumar insisted that the government does not want to politicize the rule of Bengaluru. He said that we do not want to do politics on the future of Bangalore. The government will not intervene in financial freedom, tax collection, election or reservation. The 74th amendment has been fully protected.
