Leaders cutting across party lines on Wednesday condoled the loss of lives during a stampede-like situation at Mahakumbh in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj district, and appealed to the state government to provide adequate treatment to the injured.
At least 30 people, mostly women, died and around 60 people were injured after a "stampede-like" situation broke out at the Sangam on Wednesday amid the ongoing Maha Kumbh as a large number of pilgrims turned up for a holy bath on Mauni Amavasya.
The former UP CM also took a dig at the BJP-led government, stating that the claims of providing a "world-class system" for the Maha Kumbh had been exposed.
