Nehru statue removed in Allahabad for Kumbh 'beautification drive', Congress furious | | | Agencies ALLAHABAD: The statue of India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru was on Thursday removed from Balsan Chauraha in Allahabad. Authorities said that the statue has been removed in view of the beautification work that is being held in the city for the upcoming Kumbh mela that is due to be held in January 2019.
The Congress, however, is enraged at the move and is calling it an insult to the former prime minister.
Along with the Samajwadi Party, the Congress workers on Thursday staged a protest alleging that the statue has been removed intentionally. They stopped the crane and raised slogans against Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath |
