At least 41 people, including 6 children and 16 women, died in a stampede at Vijay’s Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam rally in Karur — the worst political rally disaster in India’s history. Experts blame poor crowd control, lack of planning, and fan frenzy for the tragedy, pointing out that even during MGR and Jayalalithaa’s massive rallies, such deadly incidents never occurred.
