UP CM Yogi Adityanath asserted that they succeeded in their goal of organizing the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj with 66 crore devotees in 45 days in a temporary city.
CM Yogi attended the inaugural ceremony of the two-day national seminar on ‘Contribution of Yogiraj of Indian Yoga tradition’ organized at Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gorakhpur University”.
UP CM said, “I held the first meeting regarding the Maha Kumbh in November 2022. It took a year to finalize everything and then to implement it on the ground”.
He further added, “If a good team isn’t selected, the situation will be similar to what happened during the Commonwealth Games in Delhi. The CWG had ended, but the stadiums were still being built. Some people started criticizing the Maha Kumbh. I knew that the 7,000 crore Rs we were spending was the hard-earned money of the people of Uttar Pradesh, but in return, we would give Uttar Pradesh a three-lakh crore Rs return and show the world that faith can become a cause of prosperity. We had not understood its strength,” CM Yogi said.
