Janhit : RCB Victory Marred by Tragedy, Crowd Control Failures Exposed in Bengaluru | ABP NEWS

India witnessed two intense moments of national concern this week—one, a deadly tragedy in Bengaluru, and the other, a renewed political firestorm over India’s security stance. In Bengaluru, a celebration of RCB’s IPL victory turned tragic when a massive crowd gathered outside Chinnaswamy Stadium. With inadequate police arrangements, chaos broke out, leading to a stampede that killed 11 and injured over 30. Visuals of scattered footwear and people crying for help shocked the nation. CM Siddaramaiah’s comment comparing it to the Mahakumbh stampede and his smile during the press conference triggered public fury. Political leaders and citizens alike are demanding a transparent probe into the lapses. Meanwhile, the term “Narendra Surrender” resurfaced as Congress accused PM Modi of yielding to foreign pressure during the ceasefire with Pakistan post Operation Sindoor. BJP countered with a timeline of military successes and a “Congress surrender calendar,” highlighting historical concessions from 1947 onward. Jaishankar dismissed any foreign mediation, and Congress MP Shashi Tharoor supported India’s stance as a targeted anti-terror response. As the nation mourns a preventable tragedy and watches political divisions deepen, the bigger question emerges—can India afford such internal chaos when unity is critical, both at home and on the global stage?
