Eight persons died on Wednesday at a roadshow held by the Telugu Desam Party at Kandukur in the state's Nellore district, according to Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, who today accused Chandrababu Naidu of being responsible. He demanded an urgent and public apology from Chandrababu Naidu, claiming that his "publicity craze" was to blame for the disaster. Chandrababu Naidu, a former chief minister, had previously expressed sorrow at the passing of party members. "This is a tragic occurrence. I'm really sorry about that "stated he. The eight families of those who perished in the stampede would receive payments totaling Rs 24 lakh each, according to TDP. However, Jagan Reddy was unmoved and started a full-scale assault against Chandrababu Naidu.
