Akhilesh and mayawati raised questions
Apart from this, the sequence of political comments on this is also continuing. SP chief akhilesh yadav said that in order to re-establish faith in the system among the saints and devotees who have come to the maha Kumbh, it is necessary that the administration and management of the maha Kumbh should be immediately handed over to the army instead of the UP government. Now that the truth of the claims of making 'world-class arrangements' has come out in front of everyone, those who were making this claim and false propaganda should resign from their post taking moral responsibility for the people killed in this accident. On the other hand, BSP chief mayawati said that - all the devotees who have lost their lives and got injured in the stampede in the maha Kumbh at the Sangam site of Prayagraj. This incident is very sad and worrying. At such a time, the party wishes that nature gives the victims the strength to bear this sorrow.
