Himachal Pradesh: The Minister of Himachal Pradesh Public Works Department Vikramaditya Singh on Wednesday reacted to the West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s remarks on Maha Kumbh and said that Maha Kumbh is the symbol of faith.
Speaking with the media Singh said that this is her personal statement, and I do not wish to comment on it. Mahakumbh is a symbol of faith. People from all over the world and across India come there to take a holy dip in the sacred waters. There is no doubt that unfortunate incidents have occurred, and some people have lost their lives. Some deaths happened at Kumbh, and some at railway stations in Delhi.
He also said that both are significant, and the government must take appropriate measures. Steps should be taken to prevent such stampedes from happening in the future. However, as far as the entire Kumbh is concerned, it has been a tradition for centuries. People have had unwavering faith in it for ages. It is sacred and integral to our culture. This is not a matter of politics.
When asked about the BJP forming the government in Delhi, Singh remarked, “It is not a matter of debate when they will form the government, but the public has given them a mandate, and they should now focus on governance. They have made promises to the people–cleaning the Yamuna river, reducing pollution, and tackling the severe smog that spreads in winter due to stubble burning.”
“The pollution levels rise drastically, and since they have governments in multiple states, immediate action should be taken. I request them to act promptly on these issues,” Singh added.
Singh also addressed Congress’ organisational structure in Himachal Pradesh and his discussions with central party leaders. He stated, “I have spoken with our central leadership, including Priyanka Gandhi, regarding party matters. The organisation has not been structured for quite some time, and it is essential to build it in a new and effective manner.”
“Our new in-charge, respected Rajni Patil ji, has also been appointed. I met her, as well as Rajeev Shukla ji, and expressed my gratitude for his contributions in strengthening the Congress party,” he added.
