Four people travelling in Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar's escort vehicle were injured when it toppled at Srirangapatna taluk here on Saturday, officials said.

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Friday alleged that the city MLAs across political parties are "blackmailing" the government over Bengaluru's garbage crisis.

The Karnataka CM does not appear willing to step aside. His opponents, both within the party and outside, have been biding their time, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
