New Delhi [India], June 6 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson RP Singh on Friday alleged that the Congress-led Karnataka government was trying to make the police in the RCB stampede incident.
“Karnataka government is just trying to make the Karnataka Police a scapegoat…. they are trying to put their blame on the police,” Singh told ANI.
He further stated that the celebrations for the win of the RCB team were supposed to be held on Sunday but were adanced by the government, which resulted in the death of the people.
“The reality is that the celebrations were supposed to be held on Sunday, but the government, in excitement, preponed it, which led to the death of the people…” he added.
BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla alleged that the Bengaluru stampede was a state-sponsored man-made disaster and further held the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister to be directly responsible for the tragic incident.
“What we have seen in the Bengaluru stampede is nothing short of a state-sponsored man-made disaster for which the CM and Deputy CM are directly responsible. They are A1 and A2, but instead of taking accountability, we see that they constantly attempt to shift the blame. DK Shivakumar, just 24 hours ago, was saying that the Police have done a fantastic job, they have done an excellent job. He was blaming the crowd,” Poonawalla told ANI.
Meanwhile, Congress MP Pramod Tiwari backed the Karnataka government and congratulated them for taking possible steps and suspending the Commissioner of the Bengaluru City Police.
“I congratulate the Karnataka government for taking every possible step and suspending even the Commissioner…”Tiwari compared RCB to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and lashed out at the opposition, stating that they had not been able to locate or punish the culprits of the Pahalgam attack.”
The compensation RCB gave is too little. Like I said, at least one crore each should be given to the families of the deceased… They are an example for the BJP. To date, the BJP has not been able to locate or punish the culprits of the Pahalgam attack,” he added.
On June 4, eleven people died and more than 30 were injured in a stampede outside Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy stadium as a huge crowd of nearly three lakh people had gathered to witness the victory celebration of Royal Challengers Bengaluru which won the Indian Premier League (IPL). (ANI)
