BJP to meet Governor over RCB stampede tragedy

Bengaluru, June 18 (UNI) The BJP on Wednesday said it will soon meet Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot to seek action against the Congress government over the stampede tragedy during the RCB victory celebrations, which claimed 11 lives.
Leader of the opposition in the legislative council Chalavadi Narayanaswamy said the party would urge the Governor to intervene, alleging “gross administrative failure and criminal negligence” on the part of the state government.
Speaking to reporters here, Narayanaswamy said, “We are planning to meet the Governor either today or tomorrow to present the facts. The government cannot escape accountability for the chaos and deaths that occurred due to their mismanagement. This government has become deaf to the people’s grief.”
