"There is a more important thing than Budget at the moment - people in Maha Kumbh are still searching for their relatives. The CM has been there many times, the Union Home Minister has gone there, the Vice President is going today and the Prime Minister will also go there - in a Mahakumbh where many people died and the government has failed to provide the numbers of deceased and those who are missing," he said.
