Karnataka CM Advisor Links Delhi Blast to BJP's Bihar Election Prospects
An advisor to the Chief Minister of Karnataka made a controversial statement.
He suggested that a recent deadly bomb blast near the Red Fort in Delhi might have been connected to politics.
He said this because the blast happened right before an important election in the state of Bihar.
He mentioned that perhaps the party in power, the BJP, felt they might lose the election and this incident was somehow related.
However, he admitted he did not have solid proof for his suspicion.
Other political parties, like the BJP, have strongly disagreed with these kinds of comments, calling them unfair and politically motivated.
They believe national security issues should not be used for political games.
A car exploded near Delhi's Red Fort, causing many deaths and injuries.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
Karnataka CM's economic advisor, Basavaraj Rayareddi, raised suspicions about the BJP's potential involvement in the Delhi Red Fort blast.

He speculated that the blast could be politically motivated, possibly linked to the BJP's perceived chances of winning in Bihar.
Rayareddi acknowledged he had no direct proof but expressed his personal suspicion to reporters.
The blast near the Red Fort killed 12 people and injured many others.
