He urged community cooperation for road repair efforts.

In a recent address, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar accused the former BJP government of contributing to the current pothole dilemmas faced by Bengaluru. He announced a budget of Rs 750 crore dedicated to remedying the city's problematic roads, blaming the state's situation on the previous administration's negligence.

Shivakumar urged the public and police to assist by reporting pothole locations. He remarked on the BJP's protest against potholes, acknowledging their existence but affirming that efforts are underway to address them rapidly.
