1,791-crore steel flyover project, claimed the Citizens for Bengaluru (CfB), an organisation spearheading the protest movement, after a “referendum” conducted. “This is nearly 200 times the number of 219 pro-flyover responses the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) claimed during their public consultation,” he said. Of the BDA’s 299 responses to the project, the authority had claimed that nearly three-fourths of the responses supported the project. The aim, believed the organisation, was to show the State government the political implications of the 6.9-km flyover project. On Sunday, Dinesh Gundu Rao, working president, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) took to Twitter saying that “many were pro-flyover”.
