60 crore devotees have taken a holy dip at Mahakumbh: CM Yogi

 

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday targeted the Opposition and said that the Mahakumbh has shown the mirror to those who raise questions on good work and act as a barrier in the path of good initiatives. Addressing a gathering here on Saturday, CM Yogi emphasized that the Mahkumbh being held in Prayagraj is enough to understand the potential of Uttar Pradesh. “Between 13 January and 22 February, more than 60 crore devotees have taken a holy dip in Triveni Sangam.

 

The whole world is praising Mahakumbh’s power. Those who do not like development, who do not like the potential of our country and our State, are constantly trying to defame (Mahakumbh) by making negative comments... Prayagraj Mahakumbh has shown the mirror to those opponents who raise questions on good work and act as a barrier in the path of good initiatives,” he said. The Uttar Pradesh CM also mentioned that they have laid the foundation stone of projects worth Rs 4500 crore in the Lakhmipur Kheri district. “Now Lakhimpur Kheri is not a backward district anymore. Today, we are laying the foundation stone of projects worth Rs 4500 crore rupees here... Numerous development projects will make the lives of the people of Lakhimpur Kheri easier and will create employment. All this happened due to the efforts of our representatives, with the support of the Government and under the guidance of PM Narendra Modi,” CM Yogi Adityanath said. Meanwhile, after Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath dismissed concerns over faecal contamination in the waters of Triveni Sangam, where people in multitudes are taking a dip during the ongoing Mahakumbh, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday alluded to an alleged conspiracy to keep the news of actual pollution away from the public.
