Some Fail to Appreciate the Spiritual Beauty of Kumbh: Yogi in House

Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday hit out at the Opposition over their criticism of the Bharatiya Janata Party-led state government's arrangements for the ongoing Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, saying that their remarks were not just an attack on the largest Hindu religious gathering but also an insult to India's cultural heritage and faith.

LUCKNOW:

Speaking in the assembly during a discussion on the governor's address, the CM said different people saw something different at the Kumbh: "Sensitive people got a beautiful picture of relationships. People with faith got a sense of fulfilment. The poor got employment, the rich got business. Devotees got clean arrangements..." he said, before referencing "vultures and pigs" in a pejorative aimed at opposition politicians. "It means that everyone has seen and felt things according to their nature and character."
