Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav said on Wednesday that over 1,000 Hindu devotees who had gone to Mahakumbh are still missing. He also claimed that the government is removing the posts that are being made regarding the missing persons. Yadav also questioned the budget allocation by the central government to the Uttar Pradesh government.
Lashing out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), he also said that the BJP should help the people, as a large number of them were killed in the Kumbh Mela.
On Tuesday, Yadav taking a dig at Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath said that he wonders whether the government had any plans to give jobs to “four lakh youths” who were roped in to ferry the pilgrims to the Maha Kumbh on their motorcycles, as claimed by the CM.
“Our Chief Minister is an amazing man. He says four lakh youths having bikes were employed. And what commercial way have you adopted to allow business from bikes…It means that youths will get jobs after 144 years,” Yadav said in Mahoba on Sunday.
The Maha Kumbh held this year was said to be a rare event occurring after 144 years due to celestial alignment.
Adityanath had earlier claimed that around four lakh civil service aspirants recovered the cost of a new motorcycle from the earnings of the ferrying business.
Yadav said there were still posters of more than 900 missing at hospitals, police stations, and public places, as he predicted a defeat of the BJP on the back of the downtrodden and marginalised.

“BJP will get worst defeat in future … They (BJP) could not understand the defeat they got in the Lok Sabha polls. Now PDA (Picchda, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) have started uniting,” he said.
