TMC, Cong voice concern over saffron agenda on Maha Kumbh

The Congress has also voiced support for this stance.

The Congress claims that Narendra Modi has no option but to engage in religious politics to stay in power.

A political slugfest started following a demand from one of the Kumbh Mela organisers, Swami Jitendranand Saraswati, general secretary of the All India Sant Samaj, that only Hindu vendors be allowed to sell items at the Maha Kumbh Mela.

The BJP has supported this demand by the Sant Samaj and urged the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh to take steps in this regard.

Senior Trinamul Congress leader and spokesperson Jayprakash Majumdar said that the BJP has long been determined to turn India into a Hindu nation rather than a secular one.
