BJP Rajasthan state President Madan Rathore has claimed that Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam had only been granted permission for gathering of 10,000 people in the rally. "The administration thought that 30,000 people might gather, but more than 1 lakh people gathered, a stampede ensued," Madan said. "Central government is also focusing on the treatment of the injured," he added.
