PM Kisan Scheme Live: PM Says, NDA Government is working together to preserve India's glorious heritage
PM Modi stated that the NDA Government is united in its efforts to preserve India’s rich heritage and build a bright future. However, those who support the jungle raj (RJD) despise our heritage and our faith. Currently, the Maha Kumbh of Unity is being celebrated in Prayagraj, which is the largest festival representing India’s faith, unity, and harmony.
More people than the entire population of Europe have taken a holy dip in this grand Kumbh of unity, yet those who believe in jungle raj (RJD) continue to disrespect it. Individuals who are dissatisfied with the Ram temple are also using every opportunity to criticize the Maha Kumbh. I am confident that the people of Bihar will never forgive those who insult the Maha Kumbh.
