Though the previous Uttar Pradesh chief minister didn’t disclose the situation, social gathering sources stated he took the dip in Haridwar.
Asked whether or not he could be visiting the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, Mr Yadav on Sunday stated he had visited the spiritual congregation all the time.
“Some individuals go to wash in Ganga to realize ‘punya’ (advantage), some individuals go to offer ‘daan’ (donate) and a few individuals go to scrub away their sins. We will go for ‘punya’ and for ‘daan,'” he had instructed reporters.
In 2019, Mr Yadav had taken a shower in Prayagraj throughout Ardha Kumbh.
