Politicians, 'rich' people should die at Mahakumbh and attain moksha: MP Pappu Yadav

Hindustan Times  

Lok Sabha MP Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav stirred controversy on Tuesday, saying that he wants politicians and 'rich' individuals attending the Mahakumbh Mela to die there so that they can attain “moksha”. Yadav further claimed that people died in a stampede during the Kumbh under the then prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru's time, but that "there was a count" even though there was no social media then. Both the Houses of Parliament continued to witness ruckus over the Mahakumbh stampede, with Opposition raising sloganeering against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath amid the ongoing Budget session. Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav accused the government of hiding the exact death toll, demanding strict action against those who are trying to cover up the "mismanagement" in organizing the grand holy fair.
