West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday attacked the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government over alleged mismanagement at Prayagraj’s Maha Kumbh, calling it ‘Mrityu Kumbh’.
Mamata claimed that there are no arrangements for the poor at the Maha Kumbh and questioned the government over the planning made for the huge gathering at the Sangam.
“This is ‘Mrityu Kumbh’…I respect Maha Kumbh, I respect the holy Ganga Maa. But there is no planning…How many people have been recovered?…For the rich, the VIP, there are systems available to get camps (tents) for as high as Rs 1 Lakhs. For the poor, there are no arrangements at Kumbh,” Mamata Banerjee said.
