In Parliament, Jaya Bachchan, who is a Member of the Rajya Sabha, made some strong statements. She questioned the purity of the Kumbh water, saying that it had been contaminated by the bodies thrown into the river near Sangam. She went on to suggest that the water near the Sangam has turned dirty. Not stopping there, Jaya also raised concerns about the massive number of devotees at the Kumbh, questioning how millions could gather at such a large scale in one place.
This comment follows a similar statement by Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav after his visit to the Kumbh. Jaya Bachchan, a Rajya Sabha MP from the Samajwadi Party, is no stranger to making bold remarks.

The Kumbh Mela held in January 2025 saw millions of devotees flocking to the sacred river to take a holy dip. On 29th January 2025, the second-largest Amrit Snan took place, with an estimated 8 to 10 crore devotees arriving from all over the world. Thousands of ascetics, spiritual leaders, and VIPs attended the event. However, during the snan, a stampede broke out, leading to the tragic death of 30 people and injuring 60 others, according to government reports. The situation was later brought under control, and the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath, set up a three-member inquiry committee to ensure better management. The subsequent Amrit Snan was conducted in an orderly manner.
This tragedy has become a focal point for criticism, with opposition leaders and YouTubers presenting different views of the incident. During this period, Jaya Bachchan's statement has only added fuel to the fire. Jaya, who is also a daughter-in-law of Prayagraj, raised the issue of contamination at a time when the city was still reeling from the tragedy. Despite the Bachchan family's historical association with the city, her comments have stirred religious sentiments.

The Kumbh Mela is a matter of faith, and Jaya Bachchan's comments have hurt the sentiments of millions of devotees. Her remarks have drawn sharp criticism from the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), BJP, and other Hindu religious organizations. Prominent BJP leaders like Ravi Shankar Prasad have also expressed anger over her statements. Calls for action against Jaya Bachchan have begun to flood social media, with people demanding that she be banned for disrespecting the religious event.

There is also curiosity about how Amitabh Bachchan, her husband, will respond to these allegations. People are asking why someone of Jaya’s stature, a senior actress, and a Member of Parliament, would make such a comment. Many believe that such a large event, which sees participation from 40 to 50 crore people, deserves respect. It is essential for responsible citizens, especially public figures like Jaya Bachchan, to be mindful of their words and avoid statements that can hurt the sentiments of millions.
