In this powerful address to the Uttar Pradesh Assembly on February 24, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath passionately defended the resounding success of the Maha Kumbh 2025 in Prayagraj. Highlighting the unprecedented turnout of over 63 crore devotees, he underscored the event’s grandeur as a testament to India’s spiritual heritage and organizational prowess. Eloquently stating, “In Maha Kumbh, everyone found what they sought—vultures got corpses, pigs got filth, traders got business, and devotees got divine blessings,” he delivered a sharp rebuke to critics attempting to tarnish the event’s image. He slammed the opposition, particularly the Samajwadi Party, for past mismanagement during the 2013 Kumbh and contrasted it with the current government’s arrangements. With the event nearing its close on February 26 with Maha Shivratri, Yogi predicted a final tally exceeding 65 crore attendees, reflecting global admiration.
