The district's political dynamics are, however, being reshaped. The Marxist party, known for its atheistic ideology, is now taking a leap of faith.
What began as a resistance against RSS influence in Hindu places of worship has now evolved into a scenario where temple festivals themselves are part of the party agenda.
