Karnataka deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar was visibly miffed with the sheer number of questions in the ongoing caste survey, for which he was enumerated at his residence in Sadashivnagar on Sunday.

Shivakumar, who launched the survey in the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) area, was left frustrated with the hour-long process.
