Prime minister narendra modi joins millions for sacred dip at mahakumbh
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Mahakumbh at Prayagraj on Wednesday and took a holy dip at the Sangam. Accompanied by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the PM said he prayed for peace and the well-being of all citizens.‘Blessed to be at the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj. The Snan and the Sangam is a moment of divine connection, and like the crores of others who have taken part in it, I was also filled with a spirit of devotion. May Maa Ganga bless all with peace, wisdom, good health and harmony,’ Modi said on X.
Modi also shared a video of his boat ride with Yogi Adityanath to the Sangam, his holy dip and prayers. In another post, he said he prayed for the happiness, prosperity, good health and well-being of all countrymen. ‘The blessings of Maa Ganga gave me a feeling of immense peace and satisfaction,’ he said. The PM had last visited Prayagraj on December 13, 2024 when he inaugurated 167 development projects worth ₹5,500 crore, improving connectivity, amenities and services for the general public.
A stampede occurred at the Maha Kumbh on January 29, claiming 30 lives. PM Modi had been in constant touch with Yogi to apprise himself of the relief operations undertaken after the stampede. The Opposition has alleged that the government was hiding the death figures and claimed that over a 100 people died in the incident. The issue rocked Parliament with the Opposition raising slogans against the PM and UP CM, followed by a walkout on Monday.
