Taking exception to BJP leaders’ comments on the blast in Rameshwaram Cafe in Bengaluru, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Sunday wondered if it was not the failure of the Central agencies like National Investigation Agency (NIA), Intelligence Bureau (IB), and Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).
Answering a query during an interaction with presspersons in Chikkamagaluru, Mr. Siddaramaiah said the government had taken the incident seriously. The investigation had been handed over to the special crime branch (CCB). “Nobody should do politics over the incident. Who was in power when a blast occurred in Mangaluru? Who was in power when there was a blast near the BJP office in Malleshwaram? There were four such blasts during the BJP rule,” he said. “‘Is it not failure of NIA, IB, RAW?” he said, adding “Under whose control are these agencies?” .
