On the occasion of Makar Sankranti, Yadav had taken a dip in the Ganga river in Haridwar. Asked whether he would be visiting Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, Yadav earlier this month said he had always visited the religious congregation. “Some people go to bathe in the Ganga to gain ‘punya’ (virtue), some people go to give ‘daan’ (donation) and some people go to wash away their ‘paap’ (sins). We will go for ‘punya’ and ‘daan,’” he had told reporters. In 2019, Yadav took a bath in Prayagraj during Ardha Kumbh.
