On August 16, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee President DK Shivakumar has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of politicizing the Bengaluru violence and said his party is doing its part by constituting a six-member fact-finding committee to investigate the DJ Halli and KG Halli violence. Shivakumar said, "The investigation is underway. BJP is politicizing the incident. They are trying to wash up their internal issues. Whatever Naveen has posted, he himself has said that a BJP supporter has created this entire scene. They want to protect that and that is why they created the issue."
