LoP and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge claimed that thousands died during the ongoing Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj.

Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan dismissed the government figures of the number of devotees visiting Mahakumbh and also claimed that the water in Prayagraj is contaminated as dead bodies of stampede victims have been thrown in the Ganga river.

Ram Gopal Yadav accused the state government of concealing the true death toll of Mahakumbh stampede and claimed that officials were ordered not to report figures exceeding 30.

A by-election will be held in February 2025 on the Milkipur assembly seat vacated by Awadhesh Prasad's victory. Till now this by-election was pending due to a legal tangle as the BJP candidate had filed a petition against Awadhesh Prasad's victory in the assembly on this seat. However, he has withdrawn his plea. After this, the by-election has now been announced.

During this Kumbh, when Azam Khan was a minister, 42 people were killed in a stampede at the railway station of Prayagraj. This accident happened on February 10, 2013. This day was Mauni Amavasya and lakhs of devotees had come to Prayagraj to take a bath in the Ganga that day.
