As per report andhra pradesh minister and tdp leader nara lokesh on thursday invited multinational corporations (MNCs) in Bengaluru to relocate to Andhra Pradesh. His remarks came in response to criticism of the karnataka government’s handling of flooding and waterlogging issues in the capital city amid heavy rainfall this week. In a post on X, lokesh reacted to comments from former Infosys Chief Financial Officer Mohandas Pai, who had expressed frustration over the congress led government’s poor governance under chief minister Siddaramaiah.
Meanwhile Pai’s X post on wednesday painted a grim picture of the situation in karnataka, stating that lack of action on crucial infrastructure issues was causing frustration among businesses. He noted that many MNCs were seriously considering expanding outside of Bengaluru due to the government’s failure to address persistent problems with roads, drainage, and traffic.
Pai had remarked “Lack of action by CMofKarnatakan siddaramaiah DKShivakumar PriyankKharge on roads, drainage, traffic on ORR is leading to huge anger and is forcing many MNC’s to seriously consider expanding outside City.promises made by cm, DCM repeatedly not upheld, trust down. This is very serious”. Moreover the criticism of Siddaramaiah’s government has intensified as Bengaluru faced severe flooding and waterlogging issues earlier this week. Opposition parties, such as the JD(S) and bjp have launched pointed attacks, accusing the government of neglecting the city’s crumbling infrastructure and failing to uphold promises made to citizens.
