Chief Minister Yogi said – this accident is like a conspiracy
CM Yogi said on Wednesday that this accident is like a conspiracy. People kept dying, the sevadars ran away from there. They neither informed the administration nor helped. When the administration team arrived, the sevadars did not let them go ahead. We also organized big events like Kumbh, but such things did not happen. Whoever is guilty, they will not be spared. According to the information received, an FIR has been lodged against 22 organisers except Baba in this case.
