The construction of Bidadi Township has sparked a political row between Congress and JDS in Karnataka. DCM D.K. Shivakumar stated he is ready to face farmers' anger or physical assault to convince them to provide land for the project. Reacting to this, former PM H.D. Deve Gowda mockingly remarked that Shivakumar should first get beaten up before he comments on the issue. The project, originally initiated by H.D. Kumaraswamy, remains a point of contention. https://publicnext.com/news/district/bangalore/politics/kn/bengaluru-let-dks-come-first-and-then-i-will-talk-1258697 #creator program
