Senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Jairam Ramesh took to Twitter to share the video and criticize the PM. He tweeted, "Ambulances stuck, chaos on road! If the PM has any shame left or even an iota of concern for the people of Bengaluru, he would immediately cancel part 2 of the #40km40percent roadshow tomorrow. But we all know that all he cares for is his Grand Tamasha!"
