 The BJP government in Karnataka on Monday lambasted the UPA for the BCCI's decision to shift the IPL's second edition outside India, citing security reasons due to the Lok Sabha polls, and said the state had expressed willingness to provide security for matches here.
"Our government was ready to provide security to IPL matches in Bangalore. Our police had already communicated the decision to organisers. But the UPA failed in this regard," Minister for Transport R Ashok told a press conference here.
The Centre's decision, which led to the IPL event being shifted abroad, has shown the country's image in poor light, particularly Bangalore as "a terror threat destination", the senior BJP leader said.

"This will prove highly effective in monitoring the officials and checking out whether a concerned official was present at the spot where deployed, especially where there has been a seizure of goods or likelihood of any violation of the code of conduct," he said.
