K’taka CM, Dy CM should resign over stampede incident: K’taka BJP
A tragic stampede incident in Bengaluru, Karnataka, has left many injured and several dead. The incident has sparked outrage and criticism against the government, with the Karnataka BJP President, BY Vijayendra, demanding the resignation of the Chief Minister, Siddaramaiah, and the Deputy Chief Minister, DK Shivakumar. Vijayendra has also called for a case to be registered against them, stating that the government’s failure to prevent the incident is a reflection of their incompetence.
The stampede occurred during a religious event at the Chamundeshwari Temple in Bengaluru, where thousands of devotees had gathered to take part in the festivities. According to eyewitnesses, the incident occurred when a large number of people tried to rush towards the temple’s main entrance, leading to a crush and panic. Many people were injured, and several died in the stampede.
The Karnataka government has been criticized for its handling of the situation, with many accusing them of trying to shift the blame to the police. The police have been accused of failing to prevent the stampede, and the government has been criticized for not taking adequate measures to ensure the safety of the devotees.
Vijayendra, in his statement, said that the government’s failure to prevent the stampede was a reflection of their incompetence. He also stated that the government was trying to shift the blame to the police, and that this was unacceptable. “The government is blaming it on police failure. Failure of police means the government’s failure. This government should go according to me,” Vijayendra said.
The BJP’s demands for the resignation of the Chief Minister and the Deputy Chief Minister come as no surprise, given the party’s history of criticizing the government over various issues. However, the stampede incident has brought unprecedented attention to the government’s handling of the situation, with many calling for accountability.
The Janata Dal (Secular), the ruling party’s ally, has also criticized the government’s handling of the situation. The party’s leader, HD Kumaraswamy, has called for a high-level inquiry into the incident, and has demanded that those responsible be held accountable.
The incident has also raised questions about the safety of religious events in the state. Many have called for stricter regulations and better crowd control measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
The stampede incident is a stark reminder of the importance of crowd control and emergency preparedness in public events. It is the responsibility of the government to ensure the safety and security of its citizens, and it is unacceptable to blame the police for failures that can be traced back to the government’s incompetence.
In conclusion, the stampede incident in Bengaluru is a tragic reminder of the importance of accountability and transparency in government. The Karnataka BJP’s demands for the resignation of the Chief Minister and the Deputy Chief Minister are a call to action, and highlight the need for a more effective and responsible government.
