The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) ''(Translation: Greater Bangalore Municipal Corporation)'', is the administrative body responsible for the civic and infrastructural assets of the Greater Bangalore metropolitan area.〔(Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike ). Official website. Retrieved 5 May 2015.〕 The BBMP represents the third level of government, (the Central government and State Government being the first two levels). Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike is run by a city council. The city council comprises elected representatives, called "corporators", one from each of the wards (localities) of the city. Elections to the council are held once every five years, with results being decided by popular vote. Members contesting elections to council represent one of more of the state's political parties. First elections to the newly created body was held on 28 March 2010, after the delays due to delimitation of wards and finalising voter lists. == Structure == A mayor and deputy mayor of the council are also elected for a period of 1-year, though not by popular vote. The post of the mayor and deputy mayor are filled through a quota system to a Scheduled Castes and Tribes candidate or to an Other Backward Class female candidate from among the elected Councillors (). However, in the absence of an elected body, the BBMP is at present run by an Administrator and a Commissioner, who are appointed by the State Government. The current Administrator is Mr. T.N Vijayabhaskhar and the current Commissioner is Mr. G. Kumar Naik, both senior and respected IAS officers. The Additional Commissioner is a specially appointed IRS officer. The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike is responsible for civic and infrastructural requirements of the city.
