Overview

• BJP staged one-hour rasta roko protests across all 224 constituencies and led symbolic pothole-filling in Bengaluru areas such as Yelahanka and Basavanagudi.
• The government reported roughly 10,000 potholes identified in the city, about 6,000 filled so far, and around 8,000 still to be fixed under the one-month target.
• Deputy CM D. K. Shivakumar blamed the previous BJP government for the condition of roads, called the issue national in scope, and said he will meet IT companies over concerns.
• Opposition leaders escalated demands by seeking a one-time ₹10,000 crore allocation to asphalt Bengaluru’s roads instead of relying on patchwork repairs.
• Fresh work was seen on Bannerghatta Road as social media users questioned patch quality, and Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy labeled the problem a BJP-era legacy while citing past funding figures.
