00:04of a political showdown.
00:05Barely a few days now to go for the Kumbh Mela
00:07to conclude, Yogi Adityanath now slamming the opposition
00:10parties over the Mahakumbh politics.
00:14He's targeted Mamata Banerjee earlier as well,
00:16but here's what Yogi Adityanath is saying now
00:19after Prime Minister Modi also defended
00:21the Kumbh, the arrangements by Yogi Adityanath government.
00:25Here's what Chief Minister Yogi has to say.
00:29So remember, both the top leaders of the government
00:33from the center, from the state, are defending the Kumbh
00:36while the celebrities are making a beeline.
00:38Katrina Kaif is the latest to have arrived at the Kumbh.
00:41There are other celebrities who already paid obeisance,
00:45already have taken the holy dip, and now more
00:48are in the queue as well.
00:50So these are the latest images coming in.
00:53Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said,
00:55vultures only saw dead bodies in the Kumbh.
01:25All right, so Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath
01:33basically responding to the jibe of the Mrityu Kumbh as well.
01:37Mamata Banerjee, the Bengal CM, had
01:39said this Mahakumbh has become Mrityu Kumbh.
01:41Akhilesh Yadav had supported it and added,
01:43horrific arrangements have been made.
01:45It's not as what is being publicized.
01:48It's all for publicity and tourism,
01:50not for the devotion as it used to be.
01:52And now, as a result of that, Prime Minister Modi
01:55leading the defense for Kumbh and for the arrangements
01:58for how it's been organized.
01:59Meanwhile, celebrities make a beeline.
02:01Akshay Kumar also, in fact, praised
02:04the arrangements that were made.
02:09So listen in now in the latest to what Chief Minister Yogi
02:12Adityanath said.
02:15And I would like to thank you for your courage.
02:18Today you said, sir, I am a Sanatani.
02:20Being a Sanatani from a socialist party,
02:23from a socialist.
02:25No, that's what I mean, because
02:30you socialists,
02:31first you rejected the existence of Ram.
02:37You rejected the existence of Lord Ram,
02:38the existence of Lord Krishna.
02:40If you remember, in 2017.
02:46So remember, this comes barely a day after
02:49Prime Minister Modi in Chhatarpur in Madhya Pradesh said
02:52that defending the Kumbh,
02:54look at the arrangements that have been made.
02:56Look at the number of people who have come.
02:58But there are some people and a certain group
03:01that can only see negativity,
03:02that only wants to go after the religious practices,
03:06the culture and the popularity of the biggest congregation.
03:09Remember, we were talking about,
03:10according to official estimates,
03:12that over 60 crore people have till now
03:15come to this congregation,
03:17not just at the Triveni Sangam,
03:18but overall at the Kumbh Mela.
03:20He also, Prime Minister, spoke about
03:22the volunteers, the doctors who are treating people for free.
03:26All of them who are volunteers have come by themselves
03:29to help people who are coming to the Kumbh.
03:33We had advanced the project of Mathura, Vrindavan and British pilgrimage.
03:37There was a statement from the Socialist Party
03:40that we had said that there will be a very big statue of Krishna there.
03:45So, it had come from you that you will also put up a very big Duryodhana.
03:50So, we said that you have to put up Duryodhana.
03:52You have thought of Duryodhana, what can we do?
03:54We had advanced the project of Mathura, Vrindavan and British pilgrimage.
03:58There was a statement from the Socialist Party
04:01that we had said that there will be a very big statue of Krishna there.
04:07So, it had come from you that you will also put up a very big Duryodhana.
04:11So, we said that you have to put up Duryodhana.
04:13You have thought of Duryodhana, what can we do?
04:37Latent nonsense cannot be a political message to people of India.
04:43That is, tomorrow Adityanath says that anybody who has a full hair on his head is anti-Sanatani
04:49doesn't mean that everybody has to go bald.
04:51The reality is that this government, not in Parliament, not after Prime Minister's death,
04:56not in the assembly, has told people that how many people died in this country.
05:01They were tongue-tied in front of NGT when they were asked about water samples,
05:07the nature of bacteria in the water samples.
05:10While Adityanath on the same day was flashing some vague report in the assembly
05:15saying that the water is so clean that you can drink.
05:17The entire NGT is at one level of this very Janata Party.
05:21They want to drink water from mineral water, distilled water,
05:24but they want people to drink water that NGT is saying is unsafe
05:29and unhygienic for a bath.
05:31So this is the reality of today.
05:33The Railway Minister, who is also a real minister, will not resign when people died in Stampede.
05:38The Prime Minister, whose suit was sold or auctioned for 10 lakh rupees,
05:42his government gave a compensation of 10 lakh rupees for anybody who died in Stampede
05:48because the Railway Department was at fault.
05:52The common man's life is a joke for the Janata Party,
05:55and propaganda is their true policy.
05:58Ranjan Tiwari, what do you say to the numbers that both PM and CM have said,
06:02saying look at the number of people still coming,
06:04whether members of the public or from the celebrity world,
06:08they all want to be a part of this congregation,
06:10while the opposition Netas are only spreading negativity about it.
06:15Well, ask this question to anybody who has lost their near and dear one,
06:20has given a faulty 10 lakh rupees as compensation.
06:24Only people who are absolutely cruel and take no accountability
06:29can crack a joke on people that in a country of 140 crore people,
06:3460 crore have gone to foam.
06:36These numbers are just a samasha that BBC wants to present,
06:39because these numbers will dumb you down
06:42and not let you think about the real problems which you face in life,
06:46whether it is jobs, whether it is the Stampede,
06:48whether it is the lack of social security,
06:51whether it is the lack of health systems.
06:54These are the real problems you face.
06:56We talk about numbers.
06:58In this government, for any exam that the government has announced,
07:02even if it has leaked, over 200 applicants have written the exam.
07:06In this government, more than probably the people who visited it at home,
07:10don't have applied for various jobs and they have been denied jobs.
07:14So these numbers are a joke on people of India,
07:16because the government wants to dumb every citizen down with numbers
07:20and not own the responsibility of what the citizens need, accountability.
07:24They don't want to take the responsibility of the quality of water that NGT is saying.
07:27They don't want to take the responsibility of the Stampede.
07:30They don't want to take the responsibility of the poor manner in which they have operated
07:35by backing people as if they don't matter.
07:50But here's what Yogi Adityanath, Chief Minister of the state said,
07:54and this comes barely 24 hours after, Prime Minister Modi also made a defence.
08:21The existence of Lord Ram, the existence of Lord Krishna, is nothing but a lie.
08:26If you remember, in 2017, we had advanced the plan for the development of Mathura, Vrindavan and Brihadarashtra.
08:32There was a statement from the Socialist Party,
08:35that there, we had said, a great statue of Krishna will be erected there.
08:40So it had come from you, that you will also erect a huge statue of Duryodhana.
08:45So we said, you erect the statue of Duryodhana,
08:47what can we do about your thoughts on erecting the statue of Duryodhana?
