RJD MP Manoj Jha Slams PM Modi’s MahaKumbh Speech
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP Manoj Jha on Tuesday criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for failing to acknowledge the lives lost during MahaKumbh 2025, calling his speech in the Lok Sabha a “monologue, not a dialogue.”
📌 Key Statements from Manoj Jha:
✔️ “PM Modi does not believe in dialogue.”
✔️ “He should have at least mentioned those who lost their lives.”
✔️ “Acknowledging the tragedy would have shown the government’s sensitivity.”
The remarks came after PM Modi’s grand appreciation of the MahaKumbh’s success in Parliament, where he attributed its organization to the dedication of devotees, the administration, and the people of Uttar Pradesh.
🗣️ What PM Modi Said in the Lok Sabha:
✔️ Hailed MahaKumbh as a grand spiritual event
✔️ Thanked the public and administration for its success
✔️ Called it a demonstration of India’s growing national strength
"The whole world has witnessed the great glory of Bharat through this event. This MahaKumbh was inspired by the faith of the people and their determination." – PM Modi
📌 MahaKumbh 2025 Highlights:
✔️ Concluded on Maha Shivratri (Feb 26, 2025)
✔️ Over 66 crore devotees participated in the sacred bathing rituals
🔍 The Opposition, including RJD and Congress, has raised concerns over:
✔️ PM Modi’s silence on the loss of lives during the festival
✔️ The need for government accountability in managing such large-scale religious gatherings
✔️ Whether safety measures were adequate for the massive influx of pilgrims
💬 Manoj Jha’s Final Word:
"Had PM Modi even spoken two words about those who died, it would have shown the government cares about its people."
With political tensions rising, the MahaKumbh debate has now turned into a larger conversation about governance, sensitivity, and accountability.
