Chennai, Oct 3: The political slugfest over last week’s Karur stampede — at a rally headlined by actor and TVK chief Vijay that claimed 41 lives — intensified on Friday as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin accused the BJP of exploiting the tragedy for electoral gains.

Stalin criticised the BJP for dispatching a delegation of opposition MPs to Karur while failing to send similar panels to BJP-ruled states during previous crises, including the 2023 ethnic violence in Manipur and the Maha Kumbh stampede in Uttar Pradesh.

“No probe panel was sent to Manipur or for Kumbh… but delegates were sent to Karur immediately,” the DMK leader said, alleging the BJP’s move was motivated by the upcoming state elections rather than genuine concern for Tamil Nadu.
