Former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa slammed the Congress government in the state after a stampede broke out outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium during the RCB IPL winning celebrations. Taking to X, Yediyurappa accused the Karnataka government, led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, of failing to make adequate arrangements for the celebrations. He expressed great “sadness and dismay” over the incident.
“During the celebration of the victory of the RCB team after winning the IPL, the shocking reports that more than 10 fans have died and many others have been injured in a stampede in Bengaluru have caused great sadness and dismay. Words cannot express the grief of the families of the fans who lost their lives in the tragedy. I request people to please exercise restraint and prioritise safety. I pray that the injured recover soon,” he posted in Kannada.
The former Karnataka CM held the state government responsible for the tragedy and said that it could have been prevented by taking precautions. “Even though lakhs of fans were likely to attend, if they could not make arrangements, why did they allow the event? This incompetent government must be held responsible for the tragedy that could have been prevented,” he said.
