BENGALURU: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has refused to comment on the deadline set for filling potholes in Bengaluru, which will end on Friday midnight, saying that it is for Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar, who also holds the Bengaluru Development portfolio, to answer.
CM Siddaramaiah made the statement at Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru on Friday. When reporters asked him about the expiry of the pothole repair deadline, he replied, “Please ask D.K. Shivakumar, ” and walked away. The reaction by CM Siddaramaiah amid the infighting within the ruling Congress party has led to speculations and talks in state political corridors.
