Chandrababu homage to Pushkar stampede victims is like devils singing mantras: YS Jagan

YSR Congress Party chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy blamed Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu for the Godavari Pushkaralu stampede and demanded that the AP Government bear responsibility for the deaths.

Chandrababu's homage to the Pushkar ghat stampede victims is like devils singing mantras, said YS Jagan. He also alleged that the Saraswathi ghat was reserved for Chandrababu but he has opted to offer puja at the main Pushkar ghat causing stampede.

This led to a war of words between the TDP and YSRCP legislators. The speaker demanded that the YSRCP chief withdraw his comments. Earlier in the day, the YSRCP MLAs came to the Assembly in a procession from Gun Park.
