Yogi Adityanath: ‘Sangam Water Fit for Drinking’ or Not?

February 19, 2025, 6:29 pm

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has strongly dismissed the allegations regarding the water quality at the ongoing Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, calling them part of a ‘false campaign’ aimed at harming the reputation of the event. He confidently stated that the waters of Sangam are not only safe for taking a holy dip but also suitable for drinking. This statement came in response to a report from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), which highlighted that certain areas in Prayagraj failed to meet water quality standards for bathing due to elevated levels of faecal coliform, a type of bacteria commonly linked to contamination from human or animal waste.

Speaking in the state assembly, Yogi Adityanath condemned the spreading of ‘fake videos’ and false allegations against Sanatan Dharma, the Ganga River, and the Maha Kumbh, emphasizing that such actions are an attack on the faith of millions of devotees. He reminded that the government’s role is to serve the people and ensure the success of this massive religious event, which has already seen over 56 crore devotees participate.

The Chief Minister also addressed the tragic stampede that occurred on January 29 during the Kumbh, offering his condolences to the victims and their families. He criticized those who were politicizing the incident and assured that the government would provide full support to the affected families during this difficult time.

Akhilesh Yadav: UP CM busy in campaigning, administration battered by criminals

April 21, 2023, 4:04 pm

Samajwadi party Chief Akhilesh yadav slams UP CM yogi aditynath for ‘failing administration’ in state and busy in being star campaigner for upcoming karnataka election.

“Criminal activities are happening in broad daylight but it is claimed that law and order are fine in the state. The public has also come to know that BJP has mastered the art of false propaganda,” the Samajwadi Party chief said on Friday. The government has nothing to show its work, so it is wasting its time by telling the works of the Samajwadi government as its own, he added.

“The situation of Jungle Raj is in Lucknow. Miscreants robbed a woman’s chain at gunpoint in broad daylight in Krishna Nagar. Rs 13 lakh was looted from a businessman in the Kaiserbagh area. A contract worker extorted money from the girl in the name of a job and raped her. The miscreants looted the gold garland of an old man at Buddheshwar temple in Para,” Akhilesh Yadav alleged.

Former UP CM further alleged, “On April 20, 2023, a teenager was raped by showing a pistol in the Antu police station area of Pratapgarh. The bus driver molested a BSC student returning from Chandausi after giving exams. In Meerut’s Kankarkheda, miscreants dragged two sisters, beat them up and behaved obscenely. In Unnao, five BJP goons set fire to the victim’s house as soon as she was released from jail for not withdrawing the rape case against a minor. In Triveni Enclave located at Tajganj in Agra, Saresham Inspector’s daughter-in-law was looted after taking her hostage.”

“These incidents are just for counting. Every day incidents of loot, murder, molestation and rape happen in the state. In most cases, instead of helping the victim, the police work to create pressure in favour of the criminal elements. Due to poor investigation and negligence in prosecution, all the criminals are left free. Law and order are badly messed up under the BJP rule,” he said.
