Stampede due to mismanagement and VIP culture : Rahul Gandhi alleges

Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi – “The news of the stampede at Prayagraj Maha Kumbha that claimed the lives of many people and injured many others is extremely saddening. I express my heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and hope for a speedy recovery of the injured. This tragic incident is due to mismanagement and the administration’s special focus on the activities of VIPs over ordinary devotees. The Maha Kumbha will continue for many more days, many more Mahasnans will be held.

So that such unfortunate incidents do not happen again; the Government should improve the system. The ‘VIP culture’ should be curbed and the Government should make better arrangements to meet the needs of ordinary devotees,” alleged Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi in a post.

Editorial Perspective

Which VIPs came during the Amrit Snan and what facilities did the administration provide to them ? The accident that occurred during the Amrit Snan is unfortunate; but Hindus feel that Rahul Gandhi should not make such frivolous allegations for the sake of popularity.
