Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 17 (ANI): Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Thursday said the state government is giving priority to providing solutions to the problems of Bengaluru.
Speaking after inaugurating Sri Balagangadharanatha Swamiji Multi-Speciality Hospital here on Thursday, he said the maximum number of conferences, conventions, and workshops in the country happen in Bengaluru.
"The India Energy Week, Aero India Show, and G-20 meetings take place here. Over 15 conventions are happening. The reason for this has been 'Brand Bengaluru'. All the steps are taken to protect the image of Bengaluru at the international level. A few talk about Bengaluru for their selfish reasons but Bengaluru is giving food, jobs, and many things, and everyone must try to bring the name to this city but not a bad name," he said.
He said solutions have been found for Bengaluru traffic, roads, and other problems by sanctioning plans and releasing funds in time.
