Though the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister did not disclose the location, party sources said he took the dip in Haridwar.<\/p>\n
Asked whether he would be visiting the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, Mr Yadav on Sunday said he had visited the religious congregation always.<\/p>\n
“Some people go to bathe in Ganga to gain ‘punya’ (virtue), some people go to give ‘daan’ (donate) and some people go to wash away their sins. We will go for ‘punya’ and for ‘daan,'” he had told reporters.<\/p>\n
In 2019, Mr Yadav had taken a bath in Prayagraj during Ardha Kumbh.<\/p>\n
