'Welcome Rahul-Priyanka in Maha Kumbh' CM Yogi showed mirror to Akhilesh Yadav by mentioning 2013 Kumbh

Prayagraj: There are reports of Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi coming to Mahakumbh. It was told by Congress Seva Dal that he can come, but official information is not available yet. Today Rahul Gandhi attended the Constitutional Rights Conference in Bihar. It is expected that Rahul Gandhi may visit Mahakumbh while returning from Bihar.

In yesterday's press conference with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, journalists asked questions about Rahul-Priyanka's coming to Mahakumbh. On this the CM said that we are ready to welcome anyone who has faith. Along with this, CM Yogi said on SP chief Akhilesh Yadav's Ganga bath, it is good that everyone should do it, it is good that it should be done. Let us tell you that on January 14, Akhilesh Yadav had taken a bath in the Ganga on the occasion of Makar Sankranti in Alwar. He had posted pictures on social media while taking bath. Which went viral on social media.

Congress leaders have often been coming to Mahakumbh. Although Rahul Gandhi is coming after a long time. Whereas Priyanka Gandhi had taken bath in Sangam 4 years ago. Now Priyanka Gandhi is coming to Mahakumbh with brother Rahul Gandhi.

Referring to the Kumbh Mela held during the Samajwadi Party government, CM Yogi said that in the previous governments, especially in 2013, when the Kumbh Mela took place, there were only nominal arrangements made by the government for the devotees and the devotees used to get troubled. This time the government has made complete arrangements, when the Prime Minister of Mauritius came in 2013, he saw filth, but when he came in 2019, he found the Kumbh absolutely clean and he looked happy. The government has also made arrangements for housing for the families of the workers working there and for education of their children.

CM Yogi's mention of Kumbh 2013 is being seen as a counter attack on Akhilesh Yadav. Recently, the SP supremo had termed the number of devotees released by the government as a lie. Apart from this, he had also pointed towards the disorders prevalent in Mahakumbh. In response to this, Yogi Adityanath has retaliated by mentioning the Kumbh of 2013.
