Bengaluru: A day after the Opposition BJP in Karnataka took to the streets over the poor state of roads and \"neglect\" of infrastructure, particularly in Bengaluru, Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar blamed the previous BJP government’s \"misrule\" for potholes in the State capital.

He said the government had released Rs 750 crore to fill potholes in the city. \"We are committed to fixing the pothole issue in Bengaluru. The Chief Minister has released a grant of Rs 750 crore for this purpose,\" he told reporters here.

Asked about the BJP’s protest, Shivakumar conceded that there are potholes in Bengaluru and that they were being filled on a war footing.

He said the city's civic agency had also requested the police and the public to inform it about the location of potholes.
