Ritesh Banglani shared the photo of a flooded Bengaluru road and said he was stuck in traffic. He sarcastically said at least the signboards were in Kannada.

The Kannada language row refuses to die down on social media. A new post by Bengaluru-based startup investor Ritesh Banglani amid the flooding due to torrential rain is stirring up attention on social media.
