Karnataka Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council and BJP MLC, Chalavadi Narayanaswamy, called the Karur stampede very unfortunate and stated that it was the failure of both the state government and actor-politician Vijay.

Speaking to ANI, Chalavadi Narayanaswamy said, “It is unfortunate. The government and the event organiser should have taken precautionary measures. Vijay is new with no experience. On the other hand, the government also completely failed to control the crowd; therefore, it should have taken measures even before the event began. On one side, the government has failed, and on the other side, Vijay has also failed. The state government should declare one crore compensation to each victim, and Vijay should also declare the same amount of compensation.”
