India, Oct. 19 -- Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Sunday conducted the 'Bengaluru Nadige' (Walk for Bengaluru) program at Koramangala Park, engaging directly with residents and hearing out their grievances.

Shivakumar emphasized that the purpose of the initiative was to connect with citizens rather than political figures. "We are here only to talk to the citizens. We are not here to talk to political leaders; there is another place for that. This is my fourth day, and then I will go and talk to the IT people. Your suggestions are welcome. You can express your grief without any hesitation. I welcome whatever anger you express," he said according to ANI.
