TVK Failed to Manage Crowd And Essentials At Karur Rally: AIADMK On Vijay Rally Karur Stampede | Read
The AIADMK spokesperson expressed condolences to the families affected by the Karur stampede at Vijay's TVK rally but firmly rejected politicizing the tragedy. The spokesperson emphasized that the government is responsible for providing proper permissions and infrastructure to safely host large gatherings, noting that similar rallies by AIADMK and DMK had been held successfully at the same venue before.
The spokesperson alleged that the stampede was triggered when Vijay began singing a controversial song related to a ₹10 bottle scam, which caused the crowd to panic after police used force. This, they claimed, might have been orchestrated by the DMK to sabotage the rally.
