HD Kumaraswamy slams CM Bommai over Davos visit; 'No one interested in B'luru development'

Ahead of Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai's visit to Davos in Switzerland, Janata Dal (Secular) leader and former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy has launched another scathing attack on CM Bommai stating that no one is interested to invest in Bengaluru for its development. 

While speaking on CM Bommai's visit to Davos, Kumaraswamy further referred to infrastructural issues in the Bengaluru city and said, "There is a lack of infrastructure in Bengaluru. He needs to create a good infrastructure and then invite people. What message will he give in Davos?"

Notably, this came in view of the Karnataka Chief Minister's participation in the annual meeting by the World Economic Forum (WEF) where he would be interacting with at least 18 global business leaders on May 23 and 24. Speaking to the media on May 21, he further informed that he will leave for Davos on May 22 and will be back on May 26. In addition to this, Karnataka Industries Minister Murugesh Nirani, IT-BT Minister Dr C N Ashwath Narayan, and many other senior officials will also join him on the trip.

Apart from that, CM Bommai also informed that the eight ministers for administering eight different Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike zones will be finalised by Saturday, May 21, night.
