Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav took a dip of faith in the ongoing Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj on Sunday. SP chief Akhilesh Yadav reached the Maha Kumbh Mela area directly from the airport, then he took a bath at the Sangam bank. During this, other party leaders and workers were also present with the SP chief. While bathing in the Ganga, Akhilesh Yadav was surrounded by SP leaders from all sides. The SP chief also offered arghya to the Sun while bathing in the Ganga.

Akhilesh said - I took 11 dips in Sangam

After taking a dip in Sangam, the Samajwadi Party (SP) chief while talking to the media said, that I am going after bathing in the Maha Kumbh today. I have taken 11 dips. Today there should be a positive message of Maha Kumbh. Today, this should be the resolution that whenever we remember Kumbh, harmony, goodwill and tolerance should always remain. I had earlier taken a bath in Haridwar and today I have got a chance to take a bath in Sangam.

Yogi government should not make Mahakumbh an event

Akhilesh Yadav said on UP CM Yogi's bulldozer action that whether the bulldozer runs or not, when there is no government then who will have the bulldozer. He further said that our resolution is that goodwill and tolerance should remain and the bath should be done with tolerance.

He said that the government should not make Mahakumbh a sports event. I have seen with my own eyes that elderly women and men are coming to Mahakumbh on foot from far away places, but if the government is spending thousands of crores of rupees in Mahakumbh, then there should definitely be some arrangement for the elderly... so that they do not have to walk much.

Will Akhilesh get help in Milkipur by-election?

Akhilesh Yadav's bath in Mahakumbh can have a big impact in the Milkipur by-election. Akhilesh is going to hold a public meeting in Milkipur on February 3 and taking a bath in Mahakumbh before that can change the game of the by-election. Although SP already has the support of Muslim and Yadav voters on this seat, but after Akhilesh Yadav taking a dip in Maha Kumbh, Hindu voters of Milkipur can also be influenced.
