Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Nainar Nagenthran blamed the DMK for Karur stampede during actor-politician Vijay's TVK rally, calling it a "man-made disaster caused by DMK's administrative lapses". He alleged that MK Stalin-led DMK government acted with "extraordinary speed" after the incident, suggesting an attempt to coverup the truth. "Only...CBI investigation can bring out the truth," Nagenthran said.
