Bengaluru Metro Fare Hike Sparks Political Showdown | Unmissable | News9

Описание: Bengaluru commuters face rising Metro fares, with the minimum fare set at ₹11 and maximum ₹95 from February 2026, alongside electricity and water tariff hikes. The 5% fare revision, the first in seven years, was briefly paused due to public backlash. BJP MP Tejasvi Surya protested outside RV Road Metro station, symbolically carrying an empty trunk and was briefly detained. The Congress and Karnataka government have hit back, with Deputy CM DK Shivakumar and CM Siddaramaiah asserting the state’s role in putting the hike on hold, while Congress ministers accuse BJP of political theatrics. Meanwhile, residents struggle with the wider cost-of-living squeeze, questioning who is truly easing their burden.
