Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav criticised Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government over arrangements for Maha Kumbh, saying, this is not "double-engine but double-blunder government". "State government is only interested in marketing and trying to brush up its image even as people face inconveniences," he added. Akhilesh said the biggest lie is Maha Kumbh is happening after 144 years.
