I thank all the ‘karma yogis’ of the government and society. Many people contributed to the success of the Maha Kumbh… I thank the people of India, UP and Prayagraj…”

Mr Modi said,” Last year, at the Ram Mandir Prana Pratishtha ceremony in Ayodhya, we realised how the country was preparing for a thousand years. This thought was strengthened even more during the Maha Kumbh… The country’s collective awakening increased the collective strength…”

Our responsibility is to continue enriching this speciality of unity in diversity”
