Pintu Mallah, a resident of Prayagraj, is in discussion. Pintu has earned crores by driving a boat in Mahakumbh. CM Yogi himself has mentioned this in the assembly. In such a situation, ‘Aaj Tak’ spoke to Pintu Mallah. In the conversation, Pintu has told his success story while getting emotional. However, it was not easy for Pintu to achieve all this. For this, he started hard work from months ago.
Let us tell you that Pintu Mallah lives in Naini’s Arail. There are about 100 people in his entire family. All of them together started the preparation of Mahakumbh Mela several months ago. The family together prepared 130 boats, so that they could be run and a significant earnings in Kumbh.
For this, Pintu pledged to his mother’s jewelry. At that time, the mother felt that the money should not be drowned, she was also refusing the son. But as the Kumbh moved forward and he saw strong earnings, his happiness was not there. However, now the family is more happy than the earnings that CM Yogi Adityanath has mentioned his family about good income.
According to PintuHis family earned around 30 crores in this Mahakumbh, which lasted for 45 days. He had 130 boats, which he fiercely ran in Kumbh and earned a lot of money.
At the same time, on the question of taking arbitrary fare from the devotees, Pintu says that we took the same rent as the government rate. They were not taking waste money from anyone. Yes, some people must have been like this, but our people were not doing anything like this. Some devotees themselves were donating to us.
It may be noted that it takes about 50-60 thousand rupees to make a boat. Pintu’s family has told about earning more than 50 thousand rupees in a day from a boat, that is, the family has earned 23 lakh rupees in a month. In such a situation, he earned around 30 crores from 130 boats.
Let us tell you that during the Kumbh Mela, the boat of a man was fixed at Rs 483. But it is being claimed that during that time passengers were taken from 2000 to 4000 rupees. If there is 10 seater boat and 1500 rupees were taken from a passenger, then there was an income of 15 thousand in one affair. There used to be many rounds during the day.
Pintu said- There are more than 100 people in our family and everyone worked hard. This is no less than a Mahaprasad for us. Thanks to Yogi ji and Modi ji, due to which such a big event took place and we paid special attention to the sailors. We had never seen in life as much as we earned.
Pintu says that we have 70 boats themselves, and almost every family had 10-20 boats. Everyone earned well. If the whole village or said, the economic condition of the sailors of the entire Prayagraj became stronger. Never imagined so much money.
