"BJP Has Nothing To Do, Creating hoax": DK Shivakumar Slams BJP Over Pothole Death

A tragic accident in Bengaluru has sparked a political storm after a 22-year-old college student died while swerving to avoid a pothole, only to be crushed by an oncoming lorry. The incident has ignited public outrage over the city's crumbling infrastructure. Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, instead of acknowledging road conditions, dismissed the pothole as the cause and blamed the BJP for politicizing the tragedy. Shivakumar claimed the BJP was creating a "hoax" for political mileage. The BJP, meanwhile, has slammed the Congress-led state government for negligence, holding it responsible for the young woman's death.
