Facing mounting criticism over mismanagement and negligence, Shivakumar said that the event at the stadium was hurriedly concluded on police instructions.“The Police Commissioner told me to wrap the event in 10 minutes. I rushed the event. We didn’t let them make any announcements. We finished everything quickly and KSCA also agreed.”Shivakumar also hit out at the opposition, particularly the BJP, for allegedly politicising the tragedy. “Let the opposition do politics on dead bodies.I will list how many dead bodies they have done politics on,” he said.He said that the BJP had previously demanded a procession and questioned what might have happened had that gone ahead. “This has happened without the procession. If the procession had happened, what would have been the situation?”(With inputs from ANI)
