Akhilesh cornered the Yogi government over traffic chaos in Prayagraj.

Meanwhile, on Monday, Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav criticized the Uttar Pradesh government for the massive traffic jam in Prayagraj. He claimed that devotees coming to the Maha Kumbh fair face a lot of inconvenience. Yadav said on ‘X’, “Due to the traffic jam all around in Prayagraj, neither food grains and vegetables-spices are available for eating and drinking nor medicines, petrol-diesel. Due to this, crores of hungry, thirsty, tired devotees stranded in Prayagraj and the Maha Kumbh complex and on the roads leading to Prayagraj are getting worse every hour. This is a dire situation. ”
