Opposition's unsavoury remarks over Mahakumbh an insult to 56 crore devotees: CM Yogi Adityanath

New Indian Express  

LUCKNOW: Reiterating Sanatan as the national religion and the protection of which would protect humanity, UP CM Yogi Adityanath, on Wednesday, hit back at the Opposition for the criticism of Mahakumbh saying that unsavoury allegations levelled vis-à-vis Mahakumbh were no less than an “insult” to over 56 crore devotees who had taken holy dip in Sangam since January 13. Asking the Opposition, especially, the Samajwadi Party to stop the misinformation campaign and spreading baseless allegations, CM Yogi said that the religious congregation was an event of the society, and the government was there as a servant to complete its responsibilities. “When we make baseless allegations or show fake videos against Sanatan Dharma, Maa Ganga, India, or the Mahakumbh, it is like playing with the faith of these 56 crore people. Countering the criticism over the alleged mismanagement at Mahakumbh, the CM said that the country and the world had participated in the event and taken it to “newer heights of success, ignoring all the false and misinformation campaigns”.
