Also sit outside the house of the PM Modi! How true DK Shivkumar's claim? News18 Investigation

Last updated: September 23, 2025, 22:57 IST Potholes Politics: DK Shivkumar claimed Kuile near 7 Lok Kalyan Marg. But in the investigation into News18, the roads of Delhi Pit were released. DK Shivkumar claimed that there were pits near Prime Minister Modi’s Delhi home. (File photos) New -Delhi: The politics of Kuils in Karnataka have now reached Delhi. Deputy Chief Minister and Minister of Town Planning, DK Shivkumar, who faces a sharp criticism of the wells on the streets of Bengaluru, played a new bet. He claimed that there were also pits near Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s official residence 7 attracts Kalyan Marg (7 lkm) in Delhi. He told Bangalore journalists that you could go to Delhi and check this claim. The News18 Fact Checking Team accepted this challenge and on-site investigation. The Yatra started with Karnataka Bhavan (Kautilya Marg). Here, a small uprooted patch must be found, which is part of the continuous work, but it cannot be called a well. When the car moved in the direction of 7 lkm, the picture looked completely opposite. The roads of Lok Kalyan Marg were very smooth and clean. Apart from the prime minister’s home, safety arrangements are so tough that roads are always kept correct. No pit was found there as Shivkumar claimed. The team further checked Safdarjung Road and Akbar Road (where the headquarters of the congress). The result came the same; The roads found no problem except the initial patch. From this report it is clear that Shivkumar’s statement was more political, not factual. The reality is that thousands of pits on the streets of Bengaluru kill people daily and increase traffic problems. At the same time, roads in these special areas of Delhi are relatively better. In politics, other cities or states are often cited as a ‘counter seminar’, but in this case Shivkumar’s arrow missed the target. This matter shows that the politics of wells become a way to wander the issue instead of solving the real problem.
