Prayagraj: Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi on Wednesday took a holy dip at Triveni Sangam, the confluence of Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati, during the ongoing Maha Kumbh being organised in Prayagraj and reflected on India’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage, emphasising its legacy as a ‘Vishwaguru’.

Calling Maha Kumbh a symbol of unwavering faith and unity, the Union Minister said, “Today, some forces are trying to undermine our faith, but the presence of crores of devotees here proves that Indian culture remains resolute and eternal.”

Highlighting the global significance of this massive spiritual gathering before taking the holy bath, he said, “The faith of devotees at Maha Kumbh is showcasing India’s strength to the world.”

After taking the dip, he expressed his deep spiritual fulfilment, describing the experience as a grand manifestation of India’s rich traditions and cultural grandeur.

Following his Maha Kumbh snan, Manjhi took to social media platforms to take a jibe at opposition leaders Lalu Prasad Yadav and Mamata Banerjee. “Well brother, I have also taken a holy dip at Kumbh. If this causes unease for some, there’s nothing I can do about it. I suppose Lalu Prasad Yadav ji and Mamata Didi might have a bigger issue with it,” he wrote.

His remarks have triggered political reactions, with many seeing it as a direct attack on the opposition.
