CM chose to receive Rahul not German Chancellor in K'taka: BJP
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz landed in Bengaluru on Tuesday and was received by Karnataka Minister MB Patil. Stating that "any responsible CM would have personally ensured that such a visit was accorded the seriousness it deserved," BJP leader R Ashoka said, "CM Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM DK Shivakumar chose to be in Mysuru to receive Rahul Gandhi."
