Pictures of Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav are going viral on social media, with users claiming that he attended the 2025 Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj. However, the pictures showing Akhilesh taking a dip in a water body are not from the Maha Kumbh Mela, but from Haridwar. Akhilesh took a dip in Ganga on the occasion of Makar Sankranti.
