Joshi demanded the immediate resignation of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, citing their "irresponsible and insensitive" handling of the crowd.
While speaking to the mediapersons in Mysuru on the occasion of the Modi government's 11th anniversary, Siddaramaiah said, "Modi has completed 11 years in power because of media publicity. Zero marks! (to Modi government)..."
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has said the government is seriously considering relocating the city's cricket stadium to a new location to prevent such incidents in the future.
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Sunday dismissed demands for his resignation by JD(S) leader and Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy over the Bengaluru stampede tragedy, calling the allegations "politically motivated" and asserting that his government had acted swiftly against lapses.
Former Deputy Chief Minister and MP Govinda Karajola has criticised Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and alleged that the Karnataka government was working as a brand ambassador for companies with economic offences.
In the wake of the stampede that occurred during RCB's victory celebration, which led to 11 deaths, BJP State President BY Vijayendra, on Friday, demanded the resignation of the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, and Home Minister G Parameshwara.
"This is a tragedy caused by the government's irresponsibility. RCB is not a team representing the state. It is a private team bought by liquor vendors. In such a situation, the state government did not need to invite them and felicitate them," Snehamayi Krisha said.
Speaking to the media, the Karnataka CM stated, "Under the chairmanship of Justice Michael D'Cunha, a retired judge of the High Court, we have appointed a one-man commission to investigate the incident."
Karnataka Home Minister Dr G Parameshwara will hold a meeting with the Bengaluru Police Commissioner, senior police officials, Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs), and officials.
Expressing deep sorrow over the incident, CM Siddaramaiah said, "11 died and 33 were injured in the stampede. This tragedy should not have happened. The government expresses deep sorrow over this incident."
