The incident occurred at the Sangam ghat, causing panic among the pilgrims who had gathered to take a holy dip in the Ganga.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge took to X (formerly Twitter), saying, «During the Maha Kumbh, the news of stampede on the banks of Teerthraj Sangam in which several people lost their lives and many others got injured is extremely heart-rending. Our deepest condolences to the families of the devotees and we wish for the speedy recovery of the injured.»
He further slammed the UP government, led by Yogi Adityanath, and wrote, «Half-baked arrangements, VIP movement, paying more attention to self-promotion than management and mismanagement are responsible for this. Despite spending thousands of crores of rupees, such arrangements are condemnable.»
Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav also expressed his condolences, writing, «The news of casualties of devotees in an accident caused by mismanagement in Maha Kumbh is extremely sad.»
