West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday referred to the Maha Kumbh as "Mrityu Kumbh" in the state assembly, following RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav’s comments calling it "faaltu" (useless). The remarks come after a deadly stampede at the Maha Kumbh last month, where 30 people were killed and 60 injured as pilgrims scrambled for space during a holy dip.
