Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav criticised the Uttar Pradesh government for failing to provide employment to youth in Prayagraj. This comes after UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's comments at the India Today Conclave about job creation during Kumbh Mela. Yadav questioned the government's claim of employment generation, suggesting it was limited to bike riders serving pilgrims. Adityanath also addressed criticisms of Mahakumbh, calling it 'Mrityunjay Mahakumbh' in response to opposition remarks.

00:00In the latest, now the Samajwadi Party chief has attacked the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister over employment.
00:06SP chief has said that the youth came to Prayagraj with the hope of employment.
00:11Akhilesh Yadav says that the UP government failed to provide employment to the youth.
00:30They have spent more than what they had bought.
01:01to the youth that came to Prayagraj.
01:05My colleague Santosh Sharma is joining me on the phone line with more details.
01:09Santosh, we are seeing a war of words that has broken out with SP chief hitting out at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister
01:15saying that the Uttar Pradesh government has failed to provide employment to the youth that came to Prayagraj.
01:21Give us more details on the backdrop of why this is happening and why his comments are coming in.
01:27Actually, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said in their conclave that due to Kumbh,
01:34many more students who were preparing for their job examination got employment
01:39and they got their bike amount returned as they got an opportunity to help those pilgrims or help those devotees, those who went to Kumbh.
01:52But on this statement of Yogi Adityanath, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav countered and questioned
01:58that one side of UP government is saying that we are giving an employment
02:05but this UP government is giving an employment of bike owners and there is a vacancy of one bike,
02:12one single seat upon a single bike in Prayagraj.
02:15This is the reality of employment of the UP government claimed.
02:19So we can say that Akhilesh Yadav, the chief of Samaj Adi Party, questioned that statement of CM Yogi
02:25that he gave an employment and due to Kumbh, many more persons got an opportunity to earn their livelihood.
02:33But now SP chief has countered this statement as employment that those who were preparing for the examination,
02:40they didn't get employment, even they got an opportunity for bike riders
02:46and to get an opportunity to earn and get their prize of a bike by this in 44 days.
02:54So the politics is on, politics is erupted after CM Yogi given a statement of employment
03:01and given an example of Kumbh bikers, those who use their bikes for the devotees to move from one place to another
03:11and now Akhilesh Yadav has countered this statement of CM Yogi Adityanath.
03:15Absolutely Santosh, thank you for bringing us those details on that story.
03:23Now the India Today conclave took place yesterday with the Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath
03:27slamming the opposition on Mahakum.
03:29UP CM Yogi Adityanath gave a befitting reply to those who criticized Mahakum
03:34and stated that the Sanatanis who visited the largest gathering on earth silenced the critics by coming out in large numbers.
03:41He also recalled West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee's Mrityu Kumbh remark
03:45and stated that devotees are now calling it Mrityunjay Mahakum and silenced those making negative remarks.
03:51CM Yogi also spoke about the stampede incident that broke out on the day Mauni Amavasya took place
03:57and said that the administration took subsequent steps to ensure the safety and security of 8 crore devotees who took a holy dip that day.
04:06Those who said that this is Mrityu Kumbh or those who said that this is useless
04:12so the kind of effort you and the administration of Uttar Pradesh did together, did you get affected by it?
04:20Look, we are used to hearing such comments.
04:24They said Mrityu Kumbh, so the public, the citizens and the Sanatan Dharma volunteers from all over the world said
04:34No, this is Mrityunjay Mahakumbh.
04:39They gave their response.
04:42And their presence, those who commented on the Ganga water, those who commented on this organization,
04:52their response was given by the presence of the public.
04:57And I feel that for a long time, this will be a reminder for those people
05:04and they will not have any other option other than repentance.
05:11Our first priority was that the devotees who came should be given a safe bath and sent away.
05:18Second, instead of making this organization a panic,
05:24we are investigating an incident.
05:28A commission was formed by the state government and the High Court has extended it.
05:36The High Court and the Supreme Court also had some observations about it.
05:41While implementing it, we have extended it and it is working there.
05:48But I felt that the first priority of the crisis management is to save those who are safe.
05:58And those who have been affected by the incident should be taken to a proper hospital.
06:06The administration has tried to fulfill both the responsibilities there honestly.
06:11And let the commission report come.
06:14Whatever will be in the commission report, we will decide accordingly.
