Two Stampedes in Five Days: Has TDP-YSRCP Rivalry Cost Lives in Andhra Pradesh?

The Quint  

According to both YSRCP and TDP leaders crowd control was almost absent at both the events because thousands had gathered to populate narrow roads. The TDP, meanwhile, accused YSRCP of not just putting the lives of TDP leaders and cadre at risk but also that of thousands of bystanders who had gathered at the event. "Surprising the YSRCP, general public had turned up at the events and the state's police was not equipped to deal with the rush. It was a miscalculation from the government's side and YSRCP's negligence has led to the deaths," a TDP leader said.
