Hindustan Times  

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav hit out at Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath, accusing him of insulting the people searching for their missing loved ones after the Maha Kumbh stampede by calling them “vultures”. Samajwadi Party MP Akhilesh Yadav criticised Yogi Adityanath for his "vulture" remark in the state assembly and claimed that it was insulting to people searching for their loved ones after the Maha Kumbh stampede Akhilesh Yadav also took a swipe on UP CM Yogi Adityanath for questioning the report on Prayagraj waters by Centre's pollution body, saying that it seems like a fight between “Delhi and Lucknow”. Akhilesh Yadav was referring to CM Yogi Adityanath's remark in the state assembly where he said, “vultures got dead bodies, pigs got dirt, devotees got God” referring to the Maha Kumbh Mela. If Uttar Pradesh Pollution Board is saying that the water is clean and Delhi's Pollution Board says that the water is bad, it means Lucknow was calling Delhi ‘suar’,” Yadav said.
