Addressing a press Conference on the Bengaluru stampede, BJP MP Sambit Patra slams Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM Siddaramaiah for compromising with the people's safety. He alleged them of focusing on their personal PR only. He further asked for their resignation, and appealed Rahul Gandhi to take action against them. He said, "Was it just an accident or a manufactured stampede? I say it was a government-manufactured stampede. The Chief Minister went on to say that such stampedes keep happening and are normal. He is trying to normalise the loss of 11 innocent lives... This happened because of the issues between the CM and the DCM... The DCM said that the capacity of the Chinnaswamy Stadium is 35000, but 3 lakh people were present in the victory march. Why did that happen?... The police did not give permission for this victory march, so why was it carried out? Who decided to go ahead with it?... Why was there no coordination between the police and the organisers?... The worst part is, the felicitations continued while people were dying."
