Hathras stampede an accident, not conspiracy: SP leader Ram Gopal Yadav
Yadav expressed sympathy for those who had died and sustained injuries in the incident.
Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday questioned the Uttar Pradesh government on the death of over 120 people following a stampede at a religious gathering in Hathras.
“We got this information when we were in Parliament. The question is, what was the government doing when such an incident happened? So many people have lost their lives. It is sad that if the government knew that a large number of people would gather at an event, then what did they do for their safety?” he questioned.
Bahujan Samaj Party ( BSP) supremo Mayawati, in her statement, said a large number of people died and many were injured in the stampede during a satsang in Hathras district.
