Shobha Karandlaje Slams Cong For Comparing Chinnaswamy Mayhem With Prayagraj Stampede
The Karnataka State Cricket Association: Hitting out at the Karnataka Congress leaders who defended the June 4 Chinnaswamy Stadium stampede incident which claimed 11 lives by comparing it to the Prayagraj tragedy where at least 30 people died, Union Minister of State for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and Labour and Employment Shobha Karandlaje said that 66 crore people had gathered in Prayagraj.
Speaking to the media at the BJP office in Bengaluru on Saturday, the Union Minister stated: "You talk about the Prayagraj incident. Do you even know how many people gathered there? More than 66 crore people came down to Prayagraj, and you couldn't manage a gathering of a mere 2 lakh people in Bengaluru. A similar celebration was held in Mumbai... more than 10 lakh people gathered, and not a single death was reported."
The Union Minister, addressing the Congress leaders, said: "Here, only for the sake of publicity, you create this mess to hold an event at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, which has a capacity of accommodating just 40,000 people."
