India, the land of devotion and culture, poised to reclaim ‘Vishwaguru’ status, says Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi

Mahakumbh Nagar : Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi took a holy dip at Triveni Sangam on Tuesday during the ongoing Mahakumbh 2025 organized under the Yogi government’s leadership. The Minister reflected on India’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage, emphasizing its legacy as a Vishwaguru.

Calling Mahakumbh a symbol of unwavering faith and unity, Union Minister Manjhi stated, “Today, some forces are trying to undermine our faith, but the presence of crores of devotees here proves that Indian culture remains resolute and eternal.”

Before the holy snan, Manjhi highlighted the global significance of this massive spiritual gathering, saying, “The faith of devotees at Mahakumbh is showcasing India’s strength to the world.” After taking the dip, he expressed his deep spiritual fulfillment, describing the experience as a grand manifestation of India’s rich traditions and cultural grandeur.

Following his Mahakumbh snan, he took to social media platform X to take a jibe at opposition leaders Lalu Prasad Yadav and Mamata Banerjee. In his post, he wrote, “Well brother, I have also taken a holy dip at Kumbh. If this causes unease for some, there’s nothing I can do about it. I suppose Lalu Prasad Yadav ji and Mamata Didi might have a bigger issue with it.”

His remarks have triggered political reactions, with many seeing it as a direct attack on the opposition.
