BJP leader calls Congress govt ‘heartless' after Bengaluru stampede: ‘Those who took selfies…'
BJP leader R Ashoka on Thursday took a dig at the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government in the state alleging that those who celebrated by raising the IPL trophy, went to airport and took selfies with the RCB team will not go to homes of those who lost their lives in the stampede.
In a post on 'X' the leader of opposition termed the Congress government "heartless" and shared pictures from a felicitation ceremony held by state government in Vidhana Soudha for the RCB team. In one of the pictures, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was seen donning turban on Virat Kohli while in another picture, Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar was seen lifting the IPL trophy won by RCB team after a wait of 18 years.
"Those who celebrated yesterday by raising the trophy and taking photos will not come to support the families of the innocent people who died. Those who were happy yesterday when they went to the airport and took selfies will not go to the homes of the deceased today and shed tears," he alleged.
Ashoka further alleged that those who honoured cricket players yesterday by donning turbans and garlanding them cannot even come to lay soil on the graves of the dead today. "The lives of ordinary people have no value for this heartless @INCKarnataka government," he added.
He continued to reiterate his demand seeking resignation of Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar. According to Home Minister, G Parameshwara, 11 people have died and 56 have been injured in the stampede. Among the injured, 46 have gone back home after the treatment, while 10 are at hospital and their condition is not serious according to doctors, he added.

CM has lost control of govt depts, should resign: Ashu
Ludhiana: Congress bypoll candidate Bharat Bhushan Ashu claimed that chief minister Bhagwant Singh Mann had lost control of government departments and should resign. Reacting to allegations of him having arranged the Vigilance summons himself using "his friend," VB SSP Jagatpreet Singh, to gain sympathy, Ashu said, "If that is really true, then don't you think Bhagwant Mann, who is the chief minister and heads the home and Vigilance departments, deserves to resign as he has no control over his own departments?" He added, "Right now the AAP candidate is in third place, and you never know, his fortunes may dip further to fourth place." He also claimed that the AAP candidate confided to his close aides that he had taken an unnecessary plunge into electoral politics. To a question that CM Mann justified the appointment of outsiders at various positions in the Punjab government by saying that talented people from one place can be posted at other places, Ashu asked the CM, "Tell us whether there was ever any appointment of any Punjabi from Punjab in Delhi during the 15 years of AAP rule there." Accusing AAP of exploiting resources of Punjab, Ashu equated the situation with the plunder unleashed during the invasion by Ahmad Shah Abdali. "Their only aim and purpose today is to loot and rob as much as they can, knowing well that their time is up but let it be clear to them that they will be held accountable for each and every penny they looted and robbed from Punjab," he said. Ashu also accused the AAP government of framing rivals. "You implicated people like me in false cases. Just remember that the cycle of justice does take a full turn and everybody will be held accountable," he asserted. Asked to comment on AAP and BJP candidates, Ashu said, "It is for the people of Ludhiana to decide and judge, and I leave it to their judgement by presenting my case in front of them."
