MAHAKUMBH NAGAR (UP): Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday took a holy dip at the Sangam here, stressing that a message of harmony, goodwill and tolerance should resonate from the Maha Kumbh.
Replying to queries from the media, Yadav said it was not a place for negative politics even as he criticised the BJP government’s management of the Maha Kumbh and said it should not be turned into a “sports event”.
Recently Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and his cabinet colleagues were seen splashing water on each other after a holy dip at the Sangam following a Cabinet meet.
