Mysuru: Last evening’s stampede during Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s IPL victory celebrations at Chinnaswamy Stadium, which claimed 11 lives, has ignited a wave of criticism, with BJP leaders accusing the Congress-led Karnataka Government of gross negligence, mismanagement, and political opportunism.
Former MP Prathap Simha blamed the tragedy on administrative failure and slammed Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for lacking empathy. “Earlier, I thought the CM was just harsh. Now I realise he is utterly insensitive,” he said.
