A major political confrontation has erupted in Bengaluru over Union Minister Nitin Gadkari's ambitious tunnel road project, with Congress MLA Rizwan Arshad directly challenging BJP MP Tejasvi Surya's position on the infrastructure initiative.
The Gadkari Vision for Bengaluru
Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has thrown his weight behind a revolutionary tunnel road solution to decongest Bengaluru's notorious traffic gridlock. The proposed project represents one of the most significant infrastructure interventions in the city's history, promising to transform urban mobility.
Political Crossfire Intensifies
Congress legislator Rizwan Arshad has launched a sharp attack, questioning whether Tejasvi Surya will contradict his own party colleague's visionary plan.

Infrastructure Meets Politics
The tunnel road project has become the latest battleground in Bengaluru's political arena, with:
- Congress positioning itself as supportive of innovative infrastructure solutions
- BJP facing internal alignment challenges between central leadership and local representatives
- Bengaluru citizens caught between political posturing and genuine traffic solutions
What's at Stake for Bengaluru

The controversy highlights how crucial infrastructure projects often become entangled in political webs, leaving citizens wondering whether visionary solutions will survive political crossfire.
