Bengaluru, India – Union Minister Rajeev Chandrashekhar criticized the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government in connection to the recent explosion at Rameshwaram cafe in Bengaluru. Chandrashekhar suggested a link between the ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans heard two days prior to the explosion and the subsequent incident.
Chandrashekhar accused the top ministers in Karnataka of hindering development and investment in the state. He highlighted the rise in electricity prices, water scarcity in Bengaluru, and increasing corruption under the current administration. The Union Minister emphasized the impact of appeasement politics on the common people, pointing out the recent injuries sustained at Rameshwaram cafe.
He criticized the Karnataka government for allegedly slowing down the investigation into the explosion, insinuating that officials were dismissing evidence of foul play. Chandrashekhar implored for a more thorough examination of the incident, lamenting the government’s reluctance to acknowledge potential security threats.
In response to the blast, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah visited the injured individuals in hospitals across Bengaluru, promising government coverage of medical expenses for the victims. He reassured reporters of the administration’s commitment to supporting the recovery of those affected by the tragic event.
The explosion occurred at Rameshwaram cafe in the Whitefield area of Bengaluru on March 1, prompting concerns about public safety and security measures in the city. Authorities continue to investigate the incident, with stakeholders calling for transparency and accountability in the process.
As the community grapples with the aftermath of the explosion, residents and officials are united in seeking justice for the victims and implementing measures to prevent future tragedies. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of proactive security measures and vigilant monitoring of potential threats in public spaces.
