flag Karnataka defends demolitions of illegal structures, calling Kerala’s criticism politically driven.

flag Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's criticism was deemed "unfortunate" and politically motivated by Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, who defended his state's demolition of buildings in Bengaluru. flag He claimed that the actions were intended to stop land mafia activity and targeted illegal encroachments on public land that had previously been used as waste dumpsites, not any particular community. flag Shivakumar refuted allegations of forced evictions and anti-minority bias, emphasizing that impacted residents were offered relocation under a housing scheme. flag The demolitions were denounced by the chief minister of Kerala as shocking and a sign of discriminatory policies.
