Dy. CM launches Bengaluru Climate Action Club

The Bharatiya Janata Party staged a protest in Mangaluru holding the Congress government responsible for the death of 11 persons in the stampede during RCB victory celebrations Bengaluru on June 4.

D. Vedavyasa Kamath, Mangaluru City South MLA, said that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deputy Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar and Home Minister G. Parameshwara should resign owning responsibility for the deaths and injuries to many. The police should register a case against them by naming them as accused, he said.

The MLA said the Chief Minister himself, through a social media post, had invited people to attend the victory celebrations. After inviting people, the police were made to cane them. Now Mr. Siddaramaiah was blaming the police for the incident and had suspended senior officials, he alleged.
