Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah visited injured victims of the Rameshwaram Cafe blast who were being treated in Bengaluru hospitals on Saturday, giving them assurances that their medical costs will be paid for by the government.

“Government will bear the treatment charges of all the patients. Around ten people are injured. Three are here in the Brookfield Hospital and six others are admitted in Vydehi Hospital. I am also going there. The patients are recovering and responding very well to the treatment” Siddaramaiah told reporters.

The chief minister also paid a visit at the well-known eatery in the city’s Whitefield area to the spot where the March 1 Blast occurred.

Dr. Pradeep Kumar, the Medical Director of Brookfield Hospital, said, “We are happy with the overall response of all three patients admitted at our hospital. A patient in the ICU has had a post-operative turbulent period. As a result of her surgery and anesthesia effects, her BP was low and her blood sugar levels were high. Her overall condition is fine and showing signs of improvement… Psychological help to boost their confidence and overcome stress is also being provided to the patients. Other patients will be discharged in another 24-48 hours.”

Former Karnataka Chief Minister Basavraj Bommai, meanwhile, criticised the Congress over the bomb incident, claiming that leaders of the ruling party assist the anti-national elements.

“From Day one this government has failed in maintaining law and order. Anti-national elements are getting a lot of support from the leaders of the ruling party and the morale of police has gone low. Huge corruption in the transfer of police has brought inefficient people to important positions. All the anti-social elements are now roaming in the city and now they have got the guts to put the bomb in Bengaluru city. This is linked to terrorist elements and there are some sleeper cells in Bengaluru. During our time, we detected 15 of them (sleeper cells) and put them behind bars. Appeasement politics by this govt has led to all this. The case should be handed over to the NIA and if this is not done, this govt should quit,” Bommai said.
