Congress MLA Sowmya Reddy on Tuesday demanded the resignation of Karnataka chief minister Basavaraj Bommai after an under-construction metro pillar collapsed in Bengaluru’s Navagara claiming two lives. “Karnataka Chief Minister must resign. It’s a clear case of poor work and people have succumbed to it. Now, people of Bengaluru and Karnataka are fed up,” Congress MLA Sowmya Reddy said. “It’s very shocking that an under-construction pillar fell on a woman and child. Until now there were pothole deaths now pillars are collapsing. This is a clear case of violation, negligence and corruption of the BJP govt,” Reddy added. An under-construction metro pillar collapsed near Nagavara on the outer ring road in Bengaluru, killing a woman and her toddler son, police said earlier today. The woman’s husband and daughter were hospitalised with injuries. Reacting to the incident, the Chief Minister said that the government would provide compensation to the grieving family. “We will inquire how the incident happened, and provide compensation to the affected family,” he said.
