Bengaluru, Oct 24: Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar today said that the state government has asked the Andhra Pradesh government to conduct a high level investigation into the Kurnool bus fire tragedy.
Speaking to reporters at Vidhana Soudha, he said, “The Kurnool bus tragedy is tragic and unfortunate. There was another such incident involving a green line bus recently. The 20 medical students in the bus escaped unhurt as our President of Raichur Congress alerted the bus driver. The police of Andhra Pradesh had not taken any action then. We are also telling the Home Minister and Transport Minister to take necessary precautions in Karnataka too.”
“There is visible negligence in this case, hence an investigation is needed into this. This is not a small incident and we need to ensure that such incidents don’t occur in the future,” he said.
Asked about open statements about leadership in the state, he said, “Discipline is the priority of our party. I won’t talk about it now. I will discuss it with relevant people.”
What is the contribution of MP to Bengaluru?
Asked about BJP’s allegation that state government has neglected the development of the state in the last two years, he said, “How much funds has this MP got for Karnataka? How many times has he met the PM to seek funds for Bengaluru’s development? I am asking about special grants. The people of Bengaluru have voted for him, let him show his contribution to Bengaluru.”
