Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is expected to be in Delhi today for a meeting with the Congress high command.
Apparently, he has been summoned to brief the top brass regarding various developments in the state, including the June- 4 stampede that killed 11 persons and injured many.
Deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar is already in Delhi
Siddaramaiah has earlier denied reports that the Congress high command had sought information from him regarding the stampede.
However, reports from Karnataka suggest that both he and Shivakumar were asked to prepare a detailed report about the administration’s response to the stampede. Demanding political accountability on the stampy , the BJP-led has also been pushing for a special legislative session.
Eleven persons died in the stampede outside Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium where a large crowd had gathered to participate in the RCB team’s IPL victory celebrations.
