'What do you call an organism that lives off another and benefits': Priyank Kharge hits back at Nara Lokesh over IT hub pitch
Karnataka IT Minister Priyank Kharge criticised Andhra Pradesh's Nara Lokesh for pitching Anantapur as an alternative IT hub to Bengaluru. Kharge labelled it "desperate scavenging," asserting Bengaluru's projected 8.5% GDP growth and status as the world's fastest-growing city. He highlighted Bengaluru's robust ecosystem and migrant absorption capacity, while Lokesh had previously invited companies to Vizag citing Bengaluru's infrastructure issues.
