Leader of the Opposition BJP in Karnataka
“The state government continues to speak about creating ‘Brand Bengaluru’, but the reality on the ground tells a different story. It is shameful that Bengaluru, which enjoys global recognition as India’s IT‑BT capital, is unable to provide even basic sanitation facilities to its residents.”
