BJP leader R Ashoka took a sharp jab at the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government on Thursday, accusing them of indifference towards recent stampede victims while celebrating the RCB team's IPL victory.
Utilizing a post on 'X', Ashoka labeled the Congress administration as ''heartless,'' sharing images from a state government event honoring the RCB team at Vidhana Soudha. One picture showed Chief Minister Siddaramaiah adorning Virat Kohli with a turban, and another showed Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar holding the IPL trophy.
The opposition leader highlighted the stark contrast between the jubilant celebrations and the neglect of families who lost loved ones. Home Minister G Parameshwara confirmed 11 deaths and 56 injuries, with 46 treated and discharged, while 10 remain hospitalized in stable condition.
