The BJP has criticized Karnataka's Congress government for seeking Wipro chairman Azim Premji's help with Bengaluru's traffic problems, calling it a "begging bowl" approach after Premji declined to open the company's Sarjapur campus to public traffic. Premji cited legal challenges and SEZ regulations while emphasizing the need for scientific, long-term solutions to address the city's notorious traffic congestion along the Outer Ring Road corridor.
