The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has criticized the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government in Karnataka for the alleged ‘deteriorating law and order situation’ in the state, a day after the Bengaluru Police busted a rave party where at least 86 of the 103 attendees tested positive for drugs.
The saffron party termed the Silicon City ‘Udta Bengaluru’ and alleged that the city is becoming the ‘adda’ for narcotic substances and rave parties. ‘Udta Bengaluru’ has been used in reference to the 2016 Bollywood movie ‘Udta Punjab’, which highlighted drug abuse by youth in Punjab.
However, Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara said the opposition’s use of the term Bengaluru was not right and that the BJP should not cast aspersions.
