Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav took a symbolic dip at the Sangam during the Maha Kumbh, aiming to project a message of harmony, goodwill, and tolerance. He highlighted the unique beauty and spiritual essence of Kumbh, drawing people solely through faith without advertisements.

Criticizing the BJP's management of the event, Yadav urged leaders to avoid turning the sacred gathering into a sports event. He emphasized that visitors, including the elderly, face challenges due to inadequate facilities, despite the funds allocated for the Kumbh.
