Meanwhile, in a post on X, CM Yadav wrote, “Today, I took a dip with my wife at the sacred Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj “Mahakumbh” and worshipped the flowing rivers. This is the power of Sanatan that with this holy body as well as the mind become blissful. It filled me with the feeling of divinity. I wish that the flow of Maa Ganga, Maa Yamuna and Maa Saraswati remains uninterrupted for eternity, and everyone be blessed.”
