Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar strongly criticized Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's remarks against the eviction of residents in Bengaluru's Kogilu Layout. Karnataka leaders stated that the houses were illegally built on a waste dumping ground, posing health risks. They emphasized that notices were served and humanitarian efforts were made to relocate residents, accusing Vijayan of commenting without knowing the facts and interfering in Karnataka's affairs.
