Akhilesh Yadav says government hiding Maha Kumbh stampede death toll

Akhilesh Yadav questioned the Central Government's failure to disclose the actual death toll from the Maha Kumbh stampede that occurred on January 29 in Prayagraj, stating that the Government allowed the incident to happen and knew about it in advance.
Yadav demanded transparency regarding the casualties, urging the Government to provide accurate figures on deaths and injuries during the stampede, as he claimed the reported numbers were likely higher than stated.
The Uttar Pradesh Government reported 30 deaths and 60 injuries from the stampede, while opposition leaders, including Yadav, alleged that many more individuals are missing, with claims of 15,000 people reported missing.
Yadav called for strict punitive action against those responsible for the tragedy and criticized the Government's handling of the situation, suggesting that evidence was destroyed at the stampede site.
