Bengaluru suffering, says Piyush Goyal; comment unwarranted, retorts Patil

Industries & Infrastructure Minister MB Patil expressed dissatisfaction with Union Commerce & Industries Minister Piyush Goyal's comment about aspiring to have India's own Silicon Valley, suggesting that Bengaluru is already fulfilling that role. Patil argued that Bengaluru has a well-established technology and startup ecosystem. Goyal later clarified his statements, mentioning the challenges faced by Bengaluru due to the state government's lack of logistics support and infrastructure. The ministers engaged in a social media dispute over the topic. Patil emphasized Bengaluru's significance as a hub for India's knowledge ecosystem, while Goyal suggested developing an industrial township in Tumakuru as an alternative.
