Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday took a sharp dig at Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) leaders who participated in the holy dip during the ongoing Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh.

Kharge said, "On one hand Prime Minister Narendra Modi salutes the Constitution and on the other, he does everything against it... Don't be fooled by Narendra Modi's false promises".

"Does taking a dip in Ganga alleviate poverty?... When children are dying of hunger, these people spend thousands of rupees on taking dips in the Ganga and competing with each other... Such people cannot do any good for the country," the Congress President added.

Congress on Monday held a massive 'Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan' rally at the birthplace of Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar in Indore's Mhow in which prominent Congress leaders across the country participated. Leader of Opposition of Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi was also present.

Meanwhile, on Monday, Home Minister Amit Shah accompanied by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and several saints and sages including Baba Ram Dev took a dip at the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj during the Maha Kumbh Mela.

Before taking a dip, Shah and CM Yogi also met and interacted with the saints and seers in Prayagraj.

Till now, several Union Ministers, including Rajnath Singh and various leaders have visited Maha Kumbh and have taken a dip at the Triveni Sangam. Recently, the Uttar Pradesh cabinet also went to Prayagraj for a meeting and then took a dip at the Triveni Sangam.

The Mahakumbh is held every 12 years and a huge turnout of devotees is expected in Prayagraj from January 13 to February 26. (ANI)
