Kolkata: The leader and actor of Bharatiya Janata (BJP) Mithun Chakraborty has responded strongly to the Prime Minister of Western Bengala, Mamata Banerjee, with respect to the comments about the Maha Kumbh And he said that his statements are inaccurate when 70 million people attended and gave themselves a sacred hall in the Triveni Sangam that demonstrates the immense influence of Sanatana Dharma.
“What she says is wrong. 70 million people have come here and they took a sacred hall, is that wrong? … People have seen the power of Sanatan Dharam,” Mithun said.
Meanwhile, Mamata Banerjee had previously declared on Tuesday that Maha Kumbh’s claim that occurs after 144 years was false.
“After 144 years, Mahakumbh will come. This is not right. If I am wrong, correct me. According to my knowledge, the Punya Snan (Santa Dip) system comes every year. Actually, we organize the gangasagar Mela. That’s why I know about the Sacred sauce, “he added.
Previously, the CM Mamata Banerje said he respects Maha Kumbh, but today is the “Mrityu Kumbh.”
This is ‘Mrityu Kumbh’. Respect for Mahakumbh, respect for Holy Ganga Maa. But there is no planning. How many people have been recovered? “, Said.
On Tuesday, the CM of Western Bengala clarified his comments about Maha Kumbh and said he was talking about the preparations for the great event. She said people would suffer if there were no planning.
Banerjee also demanded that the Government of Uttar Pradesh, led by Yogi Adityanath, should compensate for the families of those who died in the Maha Kumbh stampede.
“I never said about the pilgrims who gave themselves a sacred greeting in Mahakumbh, I respect them. I am talking about the system and the preparation there. Who died in the stampede of Mahakumbh 2025,” he said.
