On Mahashivaratri festival in Prayagraj, the number of people who take a dip in the confluence is expected to reach 3 crores by evening. The Mahakumbh, which has been going on for 45 days, will now end. The total number of devotees is estimated to reach 66 to 67 crores. This number is almost twice the total population of America by 34 crores. In the entire Mahakumbh, Yogi’s opponents had put a line of rumors, fake news, fake reels. All the leaders of Samajwadi Party and Congress tried to break the Mahakumbh. Yogi Adityanath gave a befitting answer to every question. Proved every rumor false. Akhilesh Yadav said that there is feces in the Ganges water. Some leaders said that people are falling ill by taking a dip in the confluence. A fake news was spread that thousands of people died in Kumbh, the government shed the corpses in the Ganges. Contaminated the Ganges water. The accusation was that thousands of people went missing in Mahakumbh. The government is hiding the figures. Fake videos of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal were posted in Prayagraj regarding stampede.
Yogi said that Sanatan opponents put their full strength to discredit Mahakumbh. Adopted every immoral formula, intimidated people, but despite this, the enthusiasm of the devotees neither reduced, nor could any stain on the glory of Mahakumbh. Akhilesh Yadav is well aware that for whom Yogi had said that the vulture sees corpses and the pig sees dirt. They are not foolish but are deliberately becoming unknown. Yogi’s fact is true that from the very first day, an attempt was made to defame Mahakumbh in a systematic manner. You will remember that as soon as Mahakumbh started, it was said that no one is going there, trains are coming empty, but the pictures of the flood of faith rejected every such allegation. Then with the accusations of water, cleanliness, management. All these things were answered by the devotees going to Mahakumbh on camera. Yogi immediately responded when he was erected by showing pictures of Pakistan and Bangladesh by showing fake videos. Then it was said that thousands of people were killed in the stampede, corpses were shed in the Ganges, but the accusers did not think that this is the era of AI, thousands of CCTVs are monitoring. They forgot that hundreds of drones are taking live photos day and night. In such a situation, who can hide the corpses, to shed in the Ganges, who can do it?
Yogi once again lashed out at those who spread the rumors. This was necessary. Each fake news was proved to be a lie. This was necessary. However, it is its place that all the rumors spread about water, about corpses, people about the disappearance of people, had no effect on the public. The number of devotees visiting Mahakumbh continued to increase. People were also watching arrangements on TV, watching the flow of water, listening to the experiences of devotees live too. That is why everyone knows the reality. It is a bitter truth that if this event was of some other religion, no one would dare to make such baseless accusations. This Mahakumbh will leave the impression of Sanatan on the hearts of the people for generations. This Mahakumbh will be remembered all over the world for centuries.
Delhi: What is behind the CAG report?
In the Delhi Assembly, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta presented the CAG report on the liquor scam. The report said that the Delhi government lost more than Rs 2000 crore due to Kejriwal’s new liquor policy. The 166 -page report said that the rules of the license process were ignored, the liquor manufacturers made the rules without the approval of the cabinet and LG with the intention of benefiting the cartel, there was no transparency in fixing prices. The interesting thing is that the Aam Aadmi Party leaders are calling the CAG report as their victory. Former Chief Minister Atishi says that the flaws that have been mentioned are about the liquor policy of Sheela Dixit’s government’s time. Atishi and Aam Aadmi Party leaders specialize in rotating things. His strategy is, Attack is the best definition. The rough meaning of the CAG report is that the liquor policy made during Kejriwal’s rule was made to benefit some traders. Those who benefited, only those people benefited Kejriwal’s party of crores. These allegations have also been made earlier. The CBI and ED are investigating these, but the Aam Aadmi Party never responded to the allegations of liquor scam. The CAG report was described as the report on Sheila Dixit government’s liquor policy. But they forget that the government in Delhi has changed, Rekha Gupta’s government has access to all the files. Now neither the truth can be hidden, nor the matter can be rotated.
Bihar: What is in the heart of Nitish’s son?
Nowadays there is a lot of discussion about the entry of Nishant Kumar, son of CM Nitish Kumar in Bihar. Nishant Kumar himself did not talk about entering politics, but posters are installed outside the office of JD (U) in Patna, appealing to Nishant Kumar to enter politics and lead JDU. Nishant Kumar is also coming in front of cameras nowadays. In the last one week, Nishant Kumar has appealed twice to vote for his father Nitish Kumar. Nishant has been away from politics till now, so no one can say with a claim whether he will contest the election of Bihar Assembly this time or not. But nowadays this discussion is hot in Bihar that pressure is being made on Nishant to enter politics. If someone is insisting on taking the legacy of Nitish Kumar, someone is feeling that Nitish Kumar has his own support base and he can only transfer to his son. Many people citing Nitish Babu’s health, saying that he should take responsibility. Now there are indications that Nishant Kumar has started melting slightly.
Preity Zinta: What is a story of 18 crores?
The Congress had to face great embarrassment in the case of false allegations against film actress Preity Zinta. The Kerala Congress had alleged on social media that Preity Zinta had taken a loan of Rs 18 crore from New India Cooperative Bank in Mumbai, to avoid its recovery, she gave her social media account to BJP. In return, Preity Zinta’s loan was waived and the bank drowned last week. Preity Zinta immediately responded to this allegation of the Congress. Preeti wrote on X that she operates her social media account herself, such fake news spreads should be ashamed, the loan she had taken was completely repaid ten years ago. As soon as Preity Zinta’s answer came, Kerala Congress leaders came on defensive. On behalf of Kerala Congress, it was written on X that it was nice to know that you are managing your account yourself. Kerala Congress wrote that if we make any mistake, they are ready to accept it. Preity Zinta’s case is an example of how lies are spread on social media. The Congress lied, thousands of people wrote a variety of things about Preity Zinta, but I will praise Preity Zinta that she showed courage, the truth had to be apologized, but the Congress had to apologize but most of the celebrities ignore such fake news, think who got into quarrels. This increases the courage of those who lie. Those who spread fake news should not leave. If they do not apologize publicly, then they should be dragged into court. They will not be cured until two-four such people are punished. (Rajat Sharma)
