JD(S) leader and Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy on Thursday targeted the Congress government in Karnataka for the Bengaluru infrastructure woes, and said it is "tragic" that the city is now gaining infamy as the "city of potholes".

Claiming that industries are losing faith in Karnataka and migrating to neighbouring states, the former chief minister urged them not to leave the city. "We will make Bengaluru great again."

Kumaraswamy's remarks came after industry veterans in Bengaluru like former Infosys CFO Mohandas Pai and Biocon Chairperson Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw urged the state government to immediately intervene, after online trucking platform BlackBuck decided to move the company out of its current location at Bellandur on Bengaluru's Outer Ring Road (ORR), citing commuting and road infrastructure issues.
