How Boatman Earned Rs 30 Crore in 45 Days?
According to the statement issued on Wednesday, “Pintu Mahara, a boatman from the Arail area of Prayagraj, earned Rs 30 crores in 45 days. Pintu's life took a dramatic turn with one bold decision. Anticipating a massive influx of devotees, he expanded his fleet from 60 to 130 boats ahead of the Maha Kumbh.”
The statement further read, "This strategic move proved highly rewarding, ensuring substantial earnings and securing his family's future for generations.” The press statement did not include any other details like the cost incurred on purchasing the boats and daily cost of running one boat.
While countering the opposition’s criticism, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath told the state assembly about the earnings of the family during Maha Kumbh.
Reacting to the Samajwadi Party's allegation that the boatmen of Prayagraj were "exploited," the chief minister said, "I am telling the success story of a boatman's family. They have 130 boats. In 45 days (of Maha Kumbh), they made a profit of Rs 30 crore... This means each boat has earned Rs 23 lakh. On a daily basis, they earned Rs 50,000-52,000 from each boat."
Further talking about the Maha Kumbh, the Chief Minister highlighted the economic impact of Maha Kumbh. He added that the event was attended by people from over 100 countries and over 66 crore devotees and sadhus took a holy dip at the Sangam.
