Washington, June 5 -- BJP MP Tejasvi Surya has strongly criticised the state government over the stampede in which 11 people were killed near the Chinnaswamy stadium during RCB's IPL win celebration in Bengaluru.

Surya alleged that the Chief Minister's decision to invite fans to join the celebration without adequate security arrangements was "state-orchestrated" and led to the tragedy.
