Uttar Pradesh: Kumbh Mela Stampede Death Toll Disputed; Leader Claims Over 1,000 Dead

Uttar Pradesh Kumbh Mela Stampede Death Toll Dispu

A stampede during the Kumbh Mela religious gathering on January 29th is now the center of a heated controversy. Yati Narsinghanand, a well-known Hindutva leader, is claiming that more than 1,000 people died in the incident. His statements sharply contrast with the official numbers released by the Uttar Pradesh government.

Narsinghanand is openly criticizing Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and his administration. He alleges the government is deliberately concealing the real death toll from the Kumbh Mela stampede. Furthermore, Narsinghanand doesn’t believe the event was simply an accident.

He directly accuses the government system of causing the deaths of innocent people. “This is not an accident, it is the killing of innocents by the current government system,” he stated. These are serious accusations suggesting intentional negligence or worse.

The large difference between Narsinghanand’s claims and the official death toll is raising questions. People are wondering if the government is being fully transparent about what happened at the Kumbh Mela. Narsinghanand’s allegations are increasing pressure on the government to provide a clear explanation.

If Narsinghanand’s claims turn out to be true, there could be significant consequences. Public anger might erupt, and people would likely demand that those responsible be held accountable. This event also highlights important questions about safety at large religious gatherings and if enough was done to prevent this tragedy.
