CM Sharma expressed his admiration for the grand arrangements at the Mahakumbh and commended Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for his leadership and seamless execution of the event.
Uttar Pradesh Minister Nand Gopal Nandi welcomed Sharma upon his arrival at the Prayagraj airport on Saturday night. During his visit, he also toured the Rajasthan Pavilion at the Mahakumbh and interacted with devotees from various districts of Rajasthan.
The royal rituals of the 'Gaddi ceremony' to anoint the scion of the erstwhile Mewar royal family, Lakshyaraj Singh, as the successor of Arvind Singh Mewar were performed in the City Palace here on Wednesday.
"I have resumed ministerial duties and official work following directives from the party high command, as my resignation has not been accepted by the leadership," Meena stated.
