blameworthy vs blameful

Are they equal?
I preferred to use the former one in this sentence:
They even named that “Stampede” on purpose in order to imply pilgrims as the blameworthy side.
Is that right?

"blameworthy" is a much more common word than "blameful". "imply pilgrims as the blameworthy side" is not good English. You can say "in order to imply that the pilgrims were the blameworthy side".
