The Union Minister: Union Minister for Large and Heavy Industries H.D. Kumaraswamy on Wednesday expressed deep shock over the stampede incident near the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru in which at least 11 people were killed while over 30 sustained injuries. The incident happened while fans were trying to enter the stadium to participate in the celebration event organised to mark the occasion of RCB winning its first-ever IPL trophy.

"This is the failure of the government according to me. From yesterday the cricket fans are excited and enjoying themselves. Today, the invitation was given by the government and the RCB team decided to come to Bengaluru. The state government wanted to facilitate them. If the government has taken proper security measures this would not have happened," he told IANS.
