Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav accused the Yogi government of concealing the extent of the Maha Kumbh stampede, alleging that flower petals were showered over the site to obscure the tragedy.
BJP MP Hema Malini has triggered a controversy by calling the recent stampede incident, which left at least 30 people dead, at the ongoing Maha Kumbh as 'not a very big incident'.
