Bangalore: After this morning's bomb blast near the BJP office in Bangalore, Congress spokesperson Shakeel Ahmed tweeted, "If the blast near BJP's office in Banglore is a terror attack,it will certainly help the BJP politically on the eve of election."
25 minutes later, a Twitter account for the BJP in Karnataka, retaliated, "Congress Spokesperson Shakeel Ahmad's tweet on blasts in Bangalore is insensitive and inhumane."
Mr Ahmed refused to comment on his tweet, but Minister of State for Home RPN Singh, said, "In matters relating to terror attacks, no political capital should be extracted."
16 people including eight policemen were injured in this morning's explosion.
A police van was parked near the BJP office in Malleswaram, a precaution since Karnataka elections will be held on May 5.
