Amid brewing tensions, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has extended an invitation to West Bengal's Mamata Banerjee to assess the arrangements for the ongoing Maha Kumbh, urging her to reconsider her controversial 'Mrityu Kumbh' remark.

Banerjee had drawn criticism after attacking the Uttar Pradesh government's management of the Maha Kumbh, asserting that it had devolved into a disaster with fatal stampedes. Her comments have sparked backlash from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Sarma praised the work done by the Uttar Pradesh government and emphasized the cultural significance of the Maha Kumbh. Highlighting his own personal experience, he described the event as a spiritual and historical confluence, speaking to the enduring legacy of Sanatan.
