Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and several ministers and Bharatiya Janata Party leaders took a dip at Sangam, after the first-ever Cabinet meeting at Kumbh Mela Area on Tuesday.
The Chief Minister and members of his Cabinet also offered prayers at a Hanuman temple in the Kumbh Mela Area.
Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya said that besides all Cabinet ministers and some junior ministers, sadhus also took a dip on the historic day.
The ministers were ferried by government aircraft and choppers from Lucknow on Tuesday morning while some had reached Prayagraj on Monday night by car from different districts.
However, politics had its share in this event too, as Cabinet minister and Suheldeo Bharatiya Samaj Party president Om Prakash Rajbhar boycotted the meeting.
A critic of the Yogi government, Rajbhar has set a deadline of February 24 to snap ties with the BJP.
