Mahakumbh Nagar, Feb 27 (NationPress) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath vehemently criticized the opposition following the conclusion of the Prayagraj Mahakumbh.
The CM claimed that the opposition seized every chance to undermine the Mahakumbh through misleading information.
“Certain individuals displayed videos from Cairo, while others showcased events from Kathmandu to damage the reputation of Prayagraj,” he emphasized.
CM Yogi confidently asserted that no other event globally has ever experienced such a significant gathering of faith.
“Approximately 66 crore 30 lakh devotees participated in the spiritual event, and there were no reports of abduction, theft, molestation, or rape. Not a single incident could be found, even under close examination. Yet, the opposition made every effort to disseminate false narratives,” he stated.
He sarcastically noted: "Those who disapproved of this vast assembly of faith seized every opportunity to disparage it. On the day of Mauni Amavasya, when 8 crore devotees were present, our focus was on ensuring their safe bathing and journey home. However, the opposition continued to propagate falsehoods and insult us. Some were displaying videos of occurrences in Cairo, while others referenced Kathmandu, aiming to tarnish Prayagraj. Previous administrations never honored India's faith."
The Chief Minister also pointed out the economic advantages brought about by the Mahakumbh.
"The Prayagraj Mahakumbh conveyed a strong message of faith and economic growth. Over 5,000 years ago, Lord Ved Vyas proclaimed that following the path of religion can satisfy both material and spiritual aspirations. The residents of Prayagraj have validated this principle. Millions of jobs were created, and the economy of Uttar Pradesh is now advancing towards new milestones."
Yogi Adityanath continued: "The establishment of a new economy founded on faith is truly extraordinary. Individuals from all corners of the world were thrilled to participate. Not only from India, but ministers and leaders from over a dozen nations attended, alongside ambassadors and high commissioners from 74 countries. For the first time, participants from more than 80 countries joined the event. Those who attended were profoundly impacted."
