Karur Tragedy Sparks Heated Exchange Between Stalin And EPS In Assembly

A heated exchange unfolded in the Tamil Nadu Assembly as Chief Minister MK Stalin and Opposition Leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS) traded barbs over the Karur rally tragedy. EPS blamed the DMK government for failing to anticipate the massive crowd and pointed out contradictions between the Chief Minister's and police's statements. Stalin, in response, defended his government, alleging that TVK chief Vijay arrived seven hours late for the event despite police advisories to halt the convoy when the situation worsened. The tragedy has now sparked a full-blown political confrontation in the state.
