Bihar MP Pappu Yadav has made serious allegations regarding the Kumbh Mela while speaking in Ghazipur court during a case hearing. He claimed that PM Narendra Modi does not allow CM Yogi Adityanath to work properly. He also said that the leaders in Delhi want to weaken CM Yogi, which is why the Kumbh arrangements are in poor condition.
“Delhi Leaders Don’t Want CM Yogi to Work”
Pappu Yadav stated that leaders in Delhi do not want CM Yogi to succeed. He said,
“They cannot remove Yogi Ji from the CM post, so they do not want him to develop the state. Delhi does not want democracy to flourish.”
He also criticized Arvind Kejriwal, saying that Kejriwal disappointed the people of Delhi, and that is why AAP lost the elections. He claimed that BJP could never have won in Delhi if Kejriwal had not failed the people.
“If Nitish Kumar Was INDIA Alliance Leader, BJP Would Not Be in Power”
Pappu Yadav also criticized BJP’s treatment of Bihar CM Nitish Kumar. He said,
“If we had made Nitish Kumar the leader of the INDIA alliance, BJP would not have come to power.”
He even alleged that BJP wants to eliminate Nitish Kumar and said,
“You will see, once the elections are over, BJP will finish Nitish Kumar first.”
Pappu Yadav on Taking a Holy Dip at Kumbh
When asked if he would bathe in the Kumbh, he replied,
“Am I crazy? I don’t do what the world does. I focus on work.”
He also questioned religious traditions, saying,
“People believe that if they die at Kumbh, they attain salvation. But when poor people die, they are buried instead of being cremated, which destroys Sanatan culture.”
“What Is the Role of Politicians at Kumbh?”
Pappu Yadav also criticized VIP culture at Kumbh. He questioned,
“The UP government claimed to end VIP culture at Kumbh, but even today, VIPs are visiting. Why are politicians involved in Kumbh? Why is Kumbh being used for self-promotion and marketing?”
