LUCKNOW: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath, while addressing the state legislative council on Wednesday during the state budget session, highlighted the grandeur of the Mahakumbh, calling it a unique event that the world would remember for a long time.

He said some political parties, individuals and organisations were spreading lies about the global event, but the government focused on discharging its duties.

"The Mahakumbh received global appreciation, with even those not subscribing to the ideology of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) acknowledging its successful execution," he noted.

"Despite the massive gathering over 45 days, not a single incident of robbery, kidnapping, molestation, rape, etc. was reported, showcasing the social discipline of Sanatan Dharma, which promotes unity and rejects casteism and regionalism," he added.

Taking a jibe at the opposition, the CM said that those who raised concerns over water pollution and other minor issues were now left without answers. He asserted that for the people of India, the Ganga is the holiest river, and scientifically, flowing water purifies itself.
