Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi left Delhi early Friday morning for Hathras, Uttar Pradesh, to meet the families of the stampede victims.

The tragedy at a religious gathering claimed 121 lives.

"Rahul ji left for Hathras at around 5.10 am," said state Congress chief Ajay Rai. Accompanying Gandhi are state Congress in-charge Avinash Pande, party spokesperson Supriya Shrinate, and other officials.

Rai blamed the Uttar Pradesh government for the incident.

"The Hathras stampede is a failure of the UP government. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak visited Hathras separately, indicating internal conflicts," he stated at a press conference.

The Congress has demanded compensation of Rs 1 crore for the families of the deceased and Rs 25 lakh for the injured.

"We also seek a judicial inquiry by a sitting High Court judge," Rai added.

The Uttar Pradesh government has formed a three-member judicial commission, led by a retired High Court judge, to investigate the tragedy and examine any potential conspiracy behind the stampede.
