Jagdeep Dhankar takes dip at Maha Kumbh, praises Yogi Adityanath for 'excellent' arrangements

New Delhi/IBNS: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar Saturday took a dip in the Triveni Sangam and lauded Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for the "excellent" arrangements at the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj.

Speaking to reporters, he said the world would be astonished to know that the number of people who have arrived at the Maha Kumbh is almost equal to the population of the United States of America.

"This is historic... to date, so many people have never come together anywhere on the Earth. The arrangements and the work done by the administration are excellent... I am overwhelmed. I had never imagined that such an event would be organised in India," he said.

"A tragic accident had happened, but see how efficiently everything was handled," he said referring to the stampede in which at least 30 people were killed.

Dhankhar said Adityanath must be praised for organising a historic event and highlighted that more than one lakh toilets were built for the Maha Kumbh and the visitors were getting top quality food.

"When I took the dip, it was the happiest moment of my life. I've realised that there is no country like India in the world. Yogi ji has shown that if you have dedication, ability, knowledge of culture and a feeling of service towards the nation, then miraculous work can be done," Dhankar said.

He also offered prayers at the Maha Kumbh and described the event as a blessing, the Uttar Pradesh government said in a statement.

"A feeling of spiritual bliss is being experienced by bathing in the 'greatest human gathering in history- Maha Kumbh 2025', organized at the sacred Triveni Sangam of Mother Ganga, the embodiment of love, Mother Yamuna, the embodiment of devotion, and Mother Saraswati, the embodiment of knowledge," he said.

Yogi Adityanath himself welcomed Dhankar and his family, who reached the venue by helicopter.
