India, March 26 -- Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said the Hindu pilgrimage Maha Kumbh was "Mrityunjay Mahakumbh" in a counter to his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee's "Mrityu Kumbh" jibe.

Adityanath alleged the opposition parties from various states made remarks against Maha Kumbh as a part of their appeasement politics.

Mamata had called the Maha Kumbh, which took place from January 13-February 26, 2025, "Mrityu Kumbh" in response to the deadly stampede which occurred at the congregation which was held in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh.

Giving an update of the probe into the stampede that claimed several lives, Adityanath said the judicial commission was working as per the directions of the Allahabad High Court.
