BENGALURU: The inauguration of the 2.12-km-long Sigandur Bridge, built at a cost of Rs 473 crore, has run into controversy after Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah alleged that protocol was not followed and announced that no local MLAs or Ministers from the state government would attend the event.
Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru on Monday, CM Siddaramaiah stated that it was the Centre that had initiated the conflict.
Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, is visiting Karnataka to dedicate the Sigandur bridge project to the people of the state.
