Addressing a gathering while inaugurating and launching multiple development projects worth around Rs 5500 crore here, Mr Modi said: "A new history is being written on the land of Prayagraj."
The Prime Minister pointed out the past neglect of Kumbh and religious pilgrimages by previous governments, stating that despite the significance of these events, devotees faced difficulties.
He attributed this to a lack of connection with India's culture and faith and also reassured the citizens of the deep respect for India's traditions and faith under the current government, both at the Centre and state level.
Mr Modi said the governments at both the Centre and state, consider it a responsibility to provide facilities for pilgrims attending Kumbh.
