With vultures and pigs reference, Yogi Adityanath targets opposition over Maha Kumbh criticism

, 5 news, 0 views

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, days ahead of the grand finale of the Maha Kumbh, ripped into critics with a barbed speech at the state assembly. Kumbh, he said, was the repository where people found whatever they sought.

"Vultures got dead bodies. Pigs got filth... whereas sensitive people got a beautiful picture of relationships, traders got business, devotees got clean arrangements," he said.

The reference was to the Opposition, whose leaders had kept a tight focus on the Kumbh -- especially after the stampede that killed 18 people and injured multiple others.
