Karnataka Minister Denies Honda Motors Leaving State Amid Claims
Karnataka Industries Minister M.B. Patil refuted Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy's claim that Honda Motors plans to leave Karnataka, calling it baseless and politically motivated.

He emphasized no dissatisfaction from Honda or lapses by the state government, urging responsible statements to avoid harming Karnataka's industrial growth and investment climate.
