Bengaluru (Karnataka), June 5, 2025 (ANI): Bengaluru Stampede | Karnataka Dy CM DK Shivakumar says, "This should not have happened and we never expected such a big crowd...The stadium's capacity is 35,000 but more than 3 lakh people were there...Gates (of the stadium) have been broken...We apologise for this incident...We want to know the facts and give a clear message..."
00:00Blame, it is, this should not have happened. We never expected such a big crowd. No police, no one including enough, we never expected.
00:18We said normally some 30-40 thousand, someone wanted to declare it a holiday, we didn't want to do it also, we didn't do it.
00:25So the crowd also has been divided between Vidhan Savdha and this one. Stadium is 35,000 capacity, but more than 3 lakh people were there around the stadium.
00:38And on the streets of, from the airport also, I think very massive crowd was there. It was unbelievable.
00:47This incident has happened at the stadium where the doors were being, they have broken the doors itself. It is unfortunate, gates have been broken.
01:00So we fully apologize for this. RCB also has come out with a statement on this. But still we wanted to know the fact and we want to give a clear message. We will do it.
01:15From yesterday, you were clear, sir, that the celebration will go and the whole Karnataka will be happy. After your statement, there was BJP statement.
01:24No, BJP, yes, BJP is a double standard. They are doing double standard. They are doing politics. They are doing, on the deathbed, they wanted to do politics.
01:37They only said that, allow for the precision. Allow for the precision. When precision was not being allowed, only this has happened.
01:45If you have allowed for a precision, what would have been the situation? Everyone would have blocked the roads and gone on the vehicle itself.
01:55All these things would have happened. I don't want to comment much on that.
01:58You said that open busts will be dangerous for the players at the precision. No, no, no. Yes, see, it is very, I don't want to explain all those things.
02:08But it is, we are very sorry for this incident. We all will work out for a better solution in the future.
02:16Last question, sir. Now, after witnessing all these things, you have announced compensation as well. But other side, you should be saying it's a pre-planned death.
02:26They are doing politics on the deathbed.
02:30The question that has been made kepada a nation's family.
02:46This is your desire for this feast.
02:48It is not your desire to take care of you but it is the idea of you.
