"We Didn't Run Away": DMK's Kanimozhi Jabs TVK Chief Vijay Over Stampede
A day after 40 people were killed and nearly 100 injured in a stampede at Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay's rally in Tamil Nadu's Karur district, DMK MP Kanimozhi took a jab at the popular actor-turned-politician.
"We did not run away," said Kanimozhi, appearing to hint that the actor-politician was missing when the tragedy struck.
State police chief G Venkataraman said crowds had been waiting for hours under the hot sun without sufficient food and water after the public was informed that Vijay would arrive at the venue by noon.
"The crowds started coming in from 11 am. He came at 7:40 pm. The people lacked sufficient food and water under the hot sun," he told reporters.
