While I respect the religious sentiments, I do wish our leaders would give equal, visible attention to pressing issues like women's safety and unemployment on such platforms too. Faith is personal, governance is for all.

Hope the administration also ensured proper facilities, clean water, and crowd management for the common devotees at all these melas. That is the real seva. The article focuses on the CM's visit, but the real story is the faith of the millions who gathered.
