Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath criticised the Opposition for their remarks on the Maha Kumbh. "Vultures found corpses, pigs found filth, and devotees found God," he said, targeting critics who highlighted stampede deaths and cleanliness issues. Samajwadi Party MP Akhilesh Yadav accused Yogi of using "inappropriate" language. "Words should respect the spiritual significance of Maha Kumbh," he said. Mamata Banerjee called it "Mrityu Kumbh," linking it to stampede deaths. Despite the controversy, the Maha Kumbh has drawn millions of devotees. Political debates over its organisation continue.
