Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw Denies Road Repair Offer Amid Media Speculation

Biocon chief Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw refuted claims about her offering to fund road repairs in Bengaluru, calling it fabricated news. Engaging with former Union Minister P Chidambaram, who praised this presumed offer, she questioned media sources on social media while highlighting ongoing infrastructure concerns in the city.

Biocon chief Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw has publicly refuted allegations originating from media reports that she offered to finance road repairs in Bengaluru. Shaw used social media platform 'X' to describe these claims as 'fabricated news.'

The controversy began when former Union Minister P Chidambaram commented on social media about her alleged funding offer. Shaw expressed amusement at the reports and challenged the media to reveal their information sources.

Shaw, who regularly critiques Bengaluru's infrastructure via social media, recently met Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar to discuss development cooperation. Meanwhile, Chidambaram proposed a model for public works where private entities could supervise government-funded projects.
