BJP's Prakash Javadekar said Congress leaders are politicising the issue.
Tragedy struck Dussehra festivities in Madhya Pradesh's Datia district, nearly 400 km from Bhopal, with at least 115 people killed and over 80 injured in a stampede near a temple yesterday morning. Address a press conference, BJP's Prakash Javadekar said Congress leaders are politicising the issue.
Below are the highlights: - This is a very unfortunate tragedy
- More than 100 lives have been lost
- It is national tragedy
- Every year we hear such tragedies- Nasik, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Sabarimala
- Centre must survey important places of pilgrimage
- Centre should prepare a national disaster plan and help states
- Instead of doing this, every Congress leader from Kamal Nath, Scindia, Maken and Satyavrat are playing politics because of elections
- We condemn this attitude
- There is an election code of conduct in place so no leader is allowed to go.
- Congress' approach is political
