In her X post, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw wrote, "A Chinese industrialist visiting Biocon Park asked me why Bengaluru city's roads are so damaged and why there are piles of garbage everywhere. He asked if the government here is not supporting investors." This tweet, shared by tagging the CM, DCM, and IT-BT Minister Priyank Kharge, went viral and drew varied reactions, prompting the government to issue a response.

What Minister Priyank Kharge Says :

Responding to her post about potholes and garbage, IT-BT Minister Priyank Kharge said, "Entrepreneurs have their own contribution to Bengaluru. They can call and speak with us about the problems. It will be good for the state if everyone plays their part. Who is throwing the garbage? Does it fall from the sky? Therefore, citizens must understand their responsibility and cooperate." He also defended the natural practice of inviting businessmen from other states to Bengaluru.

Minister M.B. Patil's Response:

Large and Medium Industries Minister M.B. Patil expressed his dissatisfaction, stating, "Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw has contributed to the biotechnology sector, and Bengaluru has also given her everything. After the rains, there has been damage everywhere, causing problems across the state. It is not possible to fill potholes while it is raining. Even so, we are filling the potholes. The number of people coming to Bengaluru is increasing, and the number of people leaving Bengaluru is low."
