Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, expressed his heartfelt condolences following a tragic stampede at the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj on Wednesday, which resulted in several injuries, some of them critical. In a social media post, he called for immediate action to address mismanagement at the event and end VIP culture that prioritises the movement of VIPs over the safety of common devotees.

Tragic Stampede at Maha Kumbh

The tragic incident occurred during the Maha Kumbh 2025 in Prayagraj, where a large number of pilgrims gathered for a holy bath on Mauni Amavasya. The stampede injured several devotees, and many were left critically hurt. Rahul Gandhi expressed his sorrow, offering condolences to the families of the victims and wishing for the speedy recovery of the injured.

VIP Culture Blamed for Mismanagement

In his post on social media platform X, Rahul Gandhi pointed out that the stampede was a result of mismanagement and the government's focus on VIP movements rather than ensuring the safety and comfort of common devotees.

Call for Urgent Reforms and Better Arrangements

With more important bathing rituals, or Maha Snans, still to take place during the Maha Kumbh, Rahul Gandhi urged the government to implement urgent reforms to prevent any future tragedies. He emphasised that the system must be improved to ensure the safety of everyone attending, particularly ordinary devotees.

Appeal for Support and Solidarity

Rahul Gandhi also appealed to Congress workers and leaders to provide support to the affected families and extend their solidarity during this tragic time. His message called for a collective effort to aid those impacted by the stampede and make necessary changes to improve the management of large religious.
