BJP hits out at Cong, calls city 'Udta Bengaluru'

Bengaluru, NT Bureau: Hitting out at the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government in Karnataka for the alleged "deteriorating law and order situation" in the state, the BJP termed the Silicon City as "Udta Bengaluru" and alleged the city is becoming the "adda" for narcotic substances and rave parties.

Home Minister G Parameshwara said it was not right on the part of the opposition to say Bengaluru is becoming "Udta Bengaluru."

The development comes after the Bengaluru Police busted a rave party at a farmhouse here which was allegedly attended by 103 people. Of them, 86 individuals, including a Telugu film actress, tested positive for narcotics, according to police, citing medical tests.

Taking to 'X', the BJP has alleged that since the Congress government came to power, "immoral gatherings" were happening everywhere in Bengaluru.

"Law and order has deteriorated, government chaos has been exposed. After the Congress government came to power, immoral gatherings are happening everywhere in Bengaluru. Silicon City is now full of drugs, cannabis drug rave parties," BJP Karnataka said in a post in Kannada.

The BJP also used a poster featuring CM Siddaramaiah and DCM Shivakumar with the hashtags #BadBengaluru and #CongressFailsKarnataka to hit out at the state government.
