But, governance issues exposed by low Municipal Performance Index
Bengaluru being adjudged the most liveable large city in the Ease of Living Index (EoLI) 2020, a meteoric improvement from 58th position in 2018, was met with puzzlement by many experts and opposition parties, even as the ruling BJP claimed credit.
Several urban experts have questioned the ‘most liveable large city’ tag. “Clearly, such surveys based on non-existent methodologies are driven by deeply political agendas. Anyone living in Bengaluru knows how seriously degraded the city is. With equitable access to basic amenities like water, roads and public transport being in shambles, such surveys and rankings hold no meaning,” said Leo F. Saldanha of the Environment Support Group.
