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

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 have been some arrangement for the elderly so that they do not have to walk much. Had to walk.
