India, June 6 -- Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for politicising the stampede at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium, which claimed 11 lives and left dozens injured. The incident occurred during RCB's IPL victory celebrations on June 4.

Responding to allegations from the BJP that the Congress-led state government was scapegoating the police, Siddaramaiah told ANI that action had been taken against officials found "visibly responsible" and "negligent in their duty."

"They [BJP] are doing this for politics. I don't do politics. We have taken action against those who were found visibly responsible," the Chief Minister said.
