Siddaramaiah Hits Back At Oppn Over Stampede Protest, Challenges BJP To Show Past Resignations

Accusing the BJP of “politicising” the incident, he asked the BJP leaders to seek the resignation of those responsible for the Ahmedabad plane crash, collapse of a pedestrian suspension bridge in Morbi in Gujarat and stampede during the Kumbh Mela in Uttar Pradesh.

“Were the chief ministers of those states not from the BJP? Not only did they not resign, but those governments have also not conducted a proper investigation into these incidents,” he said.

Defending his government’s handling of the stampede, he said, “What happened near Chinnaswamy Stadium is an unfortunate accident. As a responsible government, we have taken accountability for the incident.”
