Bengaluru, Karnataka — Former Karnataka Chief Minister and BJP MP Basavaraj Bommai on Thursday strongly criticized the state government following the recent murder incident in Mangaluru, alleging a complete breakdown in law and order.
“The state government and police have failed to maintain law and order in Mangaluru,” Bommai said. “There is no fear of police anymore. Police stations have become dens of corruption, and anti-social elements are now taking the law into their own hands.”
He accused the Karnataka government of indulging in appeasement politics, claiming that such policies have eroded public trust. “The government’s policy of appeasement has shaken the confidence of the people in this administration,” he added.
Bommai’s comments reflect growing concern over safety and governance in parts of Karnataka, and signal a renewed BJP push to corner the ruling Congress government on law and order issues.
