Siddaramaiah On RCB Tragedy: 'Stadium Capacity 35,000 But 2-3 lakh Turned Up'
Hours after 11 people died in a stampede today, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah admitted they did not expect such huge crowds to turn up at the IPL victory celebrations of RCB in Bengaluru. He expressed shock and extended condolences to the families of the 11 people. He said the "pain of this tragedy has also erased the joy of victory." At a press conference this evening, the chief minister said they did not expect the tragedy as the stadium can accommodate 35,000 people.
