People bearing consequences of CM's bid to rival Puri's sacred Jagannath Dham: Amit
The Political and Business Daily
|May 01, 2025
THE BJP’s Information Technology cell chief and the party's central observer for West Bengal, Amit Malviya on Wednesday morning issued a loaded message on the devastating fire at a hotel on Madan Mohan Burman Street in central Kolkata and asked if the people of West Bengal were bearing the consequences of Mamata Banerjee's attempt to rival Puri's sacred Jagannath Dham.
-
The fire in the six-floor hotel that broke out on Tuesday night killing 14 people till Wednesday morning, coincided with the inauguration of the Lord Jagannath Temple at Digha in East Midnapore district of West Bengal which has been modelled after the iconic Shree Jagannath Dham temple at Puri in Odisha. Malviya's message comes when Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is herself at Digha, almost with her entire Cabinet, for the inauguration of the temple. In the message posted on his official X handle, Malviya questioned whether the people of West Bengal were bearing the consequences of Mamata Banerjee's ‘audacious’ and ‘irreverent’ attempt to rival Puri's sacred Jagannath Dham.
