Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath criticised Congress and Samajwadi Party for spreading propaganda about Prayagraj and Maha Kumbh. "SP and Congress only want to defame India. Their fight may be against BJP, but...while fighting against BJP, they go against India", he added. "Opposition said thousands...died in Maha Kumbh but 28,000 people were reunited with their families", Adityanath claimed.
