💨 Abstract

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accused Uttar Pradesh of underreporting deaths in the Maha Kumbh Mela stampede, claiming bodies of Bengal residents were sent back without proper documentation. She criticized the event's "VIP culture" and lack of safety measures, and expressed concern over the central government's withholding of funds for state welfare programs.
