Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav criticised the Uttar Pradesh government for failing to provide employment to youth in Prayagraj. This comes after UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's comments at the India Today Conclave about job creation during Kumbh Mela. Yadav questioned the government's claim of employment generation, suggesting it was limited to bike riders serving pilgrims. Adityanath also addressed criticisms of Mahakumbh, calling it 'Mrityunjay Mahakumbh' in response to opposition remarks.
