Mahakumbh

Nagar, 19 Feb (HS): Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi took a holy dip at Triveni

Sangam on Tuesday during the ongoing Mahakumbh 2025 organized under the Yogi

government’s leadership. The Minister reflected on India’s rich cultural and

spiritual heritage, emphasizing its legacy as a Vishwaguru.

Calling

Mahakumbh a symbol of unwavering faith and unity, Union Minister Manjhi stated,

“Today, some forces are trying to undermine our faith, but the presence of

crores of devotees here proves that Indian culture remains resolute and

eternal.”

Before

the holy snan, Manjhi highlighted the global significance of this massive

spiritual gathering, saying, “The faith of devotees at Mahakumbh is showcasing

India's strength to the world.” After taking the dip, he expressed his deep

spiritual fulfillment, describing the experience as a grand manifestation of

India’s rich traditions and cultural grandeur.

Following

his Mahakumbh snan, he took to social media platform X to take a jibe at

opposition leaders Lalu Prasad Yadav and Mamata Banerjee. In his post, he

wrote, Well brother, I have also taken a holy dip at Kumbh. If this

causes unease for some, there’s nothing I can do about it. I suppose Lalu

Prasad Yadav ji and Mamata Didi might have a bigger issue with it. His

remarks have triggered political reactions, with many seeing it as a direct

attack on the opposition.
