CM Yogi: Those Plotting to Undermine Sanatan Create New Deceptive Narratives Daily
He described the comments made by Kharge and Yadav as “shameful and unacceptable.” Concerning Kharge’s remarks on fatalities during Mauni Amavasya, the Chief Minister termed them misleading and unfortunate, emphasizing that leaders of India’s oldest political party should exercise responsibility in their public statements. He accused both of them of trying to outdo each other in making anti-Sanatan comments.
The CM refuted claims that no statistics were shared about the Mauni Amavasya incident, asserting that he and his administration had publicly communicated all relevant figures. While acknowledging the tragedy of the event, he reiterated that it affected everyone deeply. He praised the prompt actions taken by the administration, police, NDRF, SDRF, and Civil Defence to ensure the swift transfer of the injured to hospitals.
CM Yogi highlighted the presence of millions of devotees in Prayagraj that day, suggesting that anti-Sanatan factions and opposition parties were wishing for a calamity. “Despite the government’s rigorous measures to ensure a ‘zero-incident’ event, the unfortunate occurrence took place. However, the administration acted promptly, delivering immediate medical care,” he stated.
He reassured that all injured individuals received adequate treatment, with some recovering at Prayagraj Medical College and others returning home. Together with his ministers and senior officials, he personally met with the affected individuals.
He pointed out that those hospitalized confirmed there were no shortcomings in the arrangements. Moreover, a judicial commission was promptly established to investigate the incident thoroughly. The government’s primary focus, he said, was to facilitate the safe return of approximately 80-90 million devotees.
The chief minister dismissed the opposition’s assertions that numerous devotees missed their opportunity for a holy dip and that the Amrit and Shahi Snan did not occur, labeling these claims as deceptive and part of a scheme to discredit Sanatan Dharma. He clarified that no traditions were interrupted—Mauni Amavasya Snan commenced at 7:30 PM the evening prior and continued until late the following day.
Following the incident, Akhadas had momentarily postponed their Snan after discussions with the Mela Authority but later reaffirmed participation in traditional ceremonies by all saints, acharyas, and mahamandaleshwars. CM Yogi confirmed that all Amrit Snans—including Makar Sankranti, Mauni Amavasya, and Basant Panchami—were carried out as per custom.
In a critical remark aimed at SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav regarding his comments on the government’s 100 crore announcement, CM Yogi encouraged him to accurately read official communications. “These are individuals who awaken at noon and merely read notes prepared by their staff. They are not leaders but mere readers, ridiculing themselves in the process,” he added.
Emphasizing the expansive scale of the Mahakumbh, he reiterated his prior statements predicting participation from 40-45 crore devotees. Within just 22 days, 38 crore devotees had already converged, with many more expected in the days ahead.
The CM noted that the Amrit Snan for Basant Panchami was conducted yesterday and indicated that events like Magh Purnima will take place on January 12 and Mahashivaratri on February 26. He mentioned that devotees from across India and the globe are eager to attend, including the King of Bhutan, who joined the celebration.
CM Yogi cautioned that certain groups are being compensated to undermine Sanatan Dharma and are engaged in conspiratorial activities, but he vowed that their endeavors would be thwarted. “We will investigate the incident of January 29 and bring the conspirators to light,” he declared.
Held on April 16 and 17, the seminar featured presentations of 30 technical papers from various experts in the mining field. Ujjwal Tan, Director General of Mines Safety, chaired the event, which was attended by prominent government officials and executives from noted mining firms including Tata Steel and JSW.
Key participants included D Bageshwar Naik, Deputy Director General (Mechanical) as Chairman; Shri Ajay Singh, Deputy Director General (Electrical); R.T. Mandekar, Deputy Director General, Northwest Zone, as Co-convener; P.M. Prasad, CMD of Coal India Limited; Amitava Mukherjee, CMD of NMDC; Uday A. Kaole, CMD of MCL; and N. Balram, CMD of SCCL.

The event included officials from mining companies like CIL, NMDC, SCCL, HZL, HCL, MCL, Tata Steel, and JSW, alongside faculty from leading mining institutions, experts from global mining safety organizations, research institutes, and equipment manufacturers.
In total, 30 technical papers were presented, and 58 papers were published in the seminar’s souvenir to better understand and analyze safety challenges in bulk material handling within the mining sector. Discussions centered on strategies to mitigate risks associated with these challenges.
The seminar established a framework for safety standards and reinforced the enforcement of legal provisions aimed at enhancing the safety and health of workers in the mining industry. It concluded with a valedictory ceremony honoring the participants.
Speaking to the media on Friday, representatives from the Maharashtra Navnirman Vidyarthi Sena (MNVS) asserted that the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 does not include any mandate for making Hindi a compulsory subject.
“This is an unwarranted imposition. The NEP 2020 does not specify Hindi as a mandatory subject,” stated one student leader, drawing comparisons to Tamil Nadu’s strong opposition to the imposition of Hindi and calling for a united protest from political parties across Maharashtra.
Meanwhile, Prof. Narendra Phatak, executive president of Sahitya Bharati and a member of the Akhil Bharatiya Sahitya Parishad, criticized the Mahayuti government’s decision as unjust and burdensome for students. He noted that the government’s interpretation misrepresents the NEP 2020 and undermines the principles established by the National Curriculum Framework (NCF).
“This unilateral decision will only incite resistance against Hindi, which has not been a contentious issue in Maharashtra. Regrettably, such policies allow certain groups to politicize the matter and provoke protests,” remarked Prof. Phatak.
The Urban Development Department has submitted a detailed proposal to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for the establishment of ‘Krishna Lok Park’ in Mathura and ‘Lav-Kush Park’ along with ‘Shri Purushottam Darshan Anubhav Kendra’ in Ayodhya.
Drawing inspiration from Prayagraj’s Shivalaya Park and Lucknow’s UP Darshan Park, these new developments aim to transform urban waste into artistic and spiritual environments.
These parks will be created under the state’s “Waste to Wealth” initiative, utilizing scrap metal and other urban waste materials. This initiative aligns with CM Yogi’s vision for sustainable urban development, according to officials.
The Krishna Lok Park in Mathura will depict significant moments from Lord Krishna’s life through innovative 3D imaging, interactive models, and light-and-sound presentations. Visitors will relive key events such as his birth, the vanquishing of Putana, Bakasura, and Kansa, as well as his heroic exploits, Draupadi’s rescue, and his Vishwaroop revelation during the Bhagavad Gita in the Mahabharata.
Additionally, the park will feature engaging areas for children, including swings designed like flutes and peacocks, and visual displays recreating the ancient ambiance of Mathura-Vrindavan.
In Ayodhya, the Lav-Kush Park will concentrate on the tales of Lord Ram’s sons, Lav and Kush, along with other significant episodes from Lord Ram’s life. This park will include a state-of-the-art Shri Purushottam Darshan Anubhav Kendra that offers LED displays, interactive walls, murals, projections, and touch-screen kiosks to share inspiring stories.
For younger visitors, Lav-Kush Park will also host an entertainment zone with photo opportunities, a bow-and-arrow area, horse rides, obstacle courses, a learning section, and storytelling zones utilizing interactive technology.
These theme parks are designed to provide both entertainment and education, generate revenue for local municipalities, and promote spiritual tourism in Mathura and Ayodhya.
