BJP Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya on Monday launched a scathing attack on the Karnataka government, accusing it of prioritising "VIP projects" over the needs of daily commuters. Surya pointed out that while the Central Government has sanctioned 4,500 electric buses for Bengaluru, the state cabinet has yet to provide the approval necessary for their deployment. Speaking to ANI, the BJP MP alleged that the state government is treating the public transport users as "second-class citizens."
