Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan on Thursday said he is profusely apologising to the nation and Hindu community for the stampede incident that left six people dead and dozens injured.
After visiting the injured at the hospital here, Pawan Kalyan said some devotees expressed doubts that the incident must have been staged and that some policemen who should be the first responders, did not act on time.
He further said he was hearing some reports that there are gaps between the Executive Officer and the Board of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams. He said the TTD Board, EO, and JEO should take responsibility for the incident and suggested that they should give up “VIP focus”.
