New Delhi: After Samajwadi Party MPs staged walkout from the Lok Sabha during the Union Budget presentation, party Chief Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday asserted that the lives lost in the Maha kumbh tragedy are more significant than budgetary announcements. Akhilesh slams Yogi govt Akhilesh Yadav slammed the government over the handling of the Maha Kumbh, stating that the death toll from the recent stampede is being misreported. "Maha Kumbh comes after 12 years. For us, the data of people who died in the stampede in Maha Kumbh is more important than the budget data. The government is not able to tell how many people died, went missing or got injured," he told reporters. The death toll that has been given by the government is false... What arrangements have you made? This government says that we are a party of Hindus but they are not able to make arrangements for this biggest festival of Hindus," he added. "Is this your definition of a Viksit Bharat that people will die in a stampede," Yadav criticized further. The stampede occurred during the Mauni Amavasya bathing ritual on Wednesday and resulted in the death of 30 people and left 60 others injured.
