After Chief Minister Siddaramaiah slammed the Central Government for not "inviting" him for the inauguration of Karnataka's longest cable bridge in Shivamogga district on Monday and alleged they violated protocol, Union Minister for Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari said that they had invited the former and a letter was also sent to his office.

In light of any possible scheduling challenges, a subsequent letter was sent on 12th July, requesting his virtual presence."
