'I Don't Drink...': Karnataka Deputy CM Shivakumar Dismisses Rumours of Buying RCB Amid Stampede Row
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has firmly denied rumours about purchasing the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) IPL franchise. The Congress leader humorously dismissed the speculation, saying, 'Why do I need RCB? I don't even drink Royal Challenge.' Though a longtime member of the Karnataka Cricket Association, Shivakumar says he has no time to be involved in the franchise's management despite offers. The rumours follow reports that Diageo, current owner of RCB, may sell part or all of the team. The franchise has also been under scrutiny after a tragic stampede at Chinnaswamy Stadium killed 11 people during an IPL celebration. Shivakumar said the Karnataka government will soon implement policies to improve crowd management. Meanwhile, political opposition has criticised the government's handling of the tragedy.#dkshivakumar #rcb #royalchallengersbengaluru #royalchallenge #ipl2025 #bengalurustampede #karnatakapolitics #royalchallengersbengaluru #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews Read More
