Gautam Adani-DK Shivakumar meeting: 'He wanted to…' — says Karnataka CM | What transpired in hour-long discussion?
Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani met Karnataka CM D K Shivakumar in Bengaluru for a meeting the CM described as a courtesy visit. The meeting came amid the proposed Hebbal-Silk Board tunnel road, for which Adani Enterprises is the lowest bidder.
Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar met with Gautam Adani, chairman of the Adani Group, in a courtesy meeting at the CM's residence in Bengaluru on Sunday, according to the CM's office. The hour-long discussion took place after Adani visited the Art of Living and returned to the airport. Shivakumar stated that this was Adani's first meeting since he became chief minister.
The meeting occurred amid Adani Enterprises winning the bid for a proposed underground corridor connecting Hebbal and Silk Board in Bengaluru, though the tender has not yet been officially finalized. Adani's bid was significantly higher than the Karnataka government's estimated project cost of ₹17,698 crore. The project is part of CM Shivakumar's infrastructure plans to alleviate congestion on one of the city's busiest routes.
The meeting also sparked political reactions, with the BJP criticizing the Congress party for opposing the project while in favor of Adani at the national level.
