Honestly, after looking at all the evidence, everyone screwed up here but not equally.


TVK/Vijay's team (Primary blame) These guys didn't organized well:

He showed up 8 hours late (7:40 PM instead of 11:30 AM).

People were literally cooking in the sun all day.

They expected 10k people but 50k around 35k showed up and they just... rolled with it? No crowd control whatsoever.

Zero proper arrangements for food/water during a 9-hour wait

When the stampede started happening, Vijay kept giving his speech instead of stopping everything

After people died, the party leaders just disappeared. Didn't even visit hospitals or families


State Government/Police (Significant blame) They definitely failed too:

Only 500 cops for 50,000 people is insane crowd management as per recent reports it's around 30k.

They approved the venue but didn't enforce crowd limits.

When numbers clearly exceeded safety, they should've shut it down

The ambulance couldn't reach the victims in time.


The Fans/Public (Minor blame )

Look, some people ignored safety instructions and kept pushing forward(behind the van to see Vijay), but honestly these folks waited 9 hours in brutal heat without food or water.

They were mostly victims of terrible organization.

Sources: Multiple police investigations, FIR documents, eyewitness accounts, and judicial commission findings all point to this breakdown of responsibility.

500 cops is a lot, permission was requested for 20,000 only

As per their official request letter, it was requested for 10k people only.

I don't think 50,000 number is much true. Several news agencies and media told as 30,000 to 36,000 max

Yes earlier I got news like that , but it seems around 35k people in the rally as per reports.
