UP minister invites Governor E S L Narasimhan & KTR to Kumbh

Uttar Pradesh Industrial Development Minister Satish Mahana met the governor of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, E S L Narasimhan, and TRS working president K T Rama Rao and invited them to the Kumbh Mela.

Mahana said the state government was making massive arrangements for the kumbh at a cost of around Rs 5,000 crore. More than 15 crore people are expected to attend the Kumbh, which begins on January 15 in Allahabad.

Asked about criticism that the state government was making massive budgetary allocation with an eye on the 2019 general election, Mahana said elections happen in the country the whole year. "The chief minister (Yogi Adityanath) himself is a head of a mutt and the kumbh must always be of this size."
