Expressing deep concern over naming of the recently established Jagannath Temple at Digha, West Bengal, as "Jagannath Dham", Majhi in a letter to WB CM Mamata Banerjee said Jagannath Dham holds a unique and sacrosanct identity linked to Puri and its usage in reference to any other temple or location hurts sentiments and emotions of millions of devotees. It dilutes the distinct heritage of Shree Jagannath Dham, Puri, he stated.

Shree Jagannath Dham in Puri, is one of the Char Dhams of Hinduism and holds unparalleled religious, spiritual, and cultural significance, not just for the people of Odisha, but for millions of devotees across India and the world.
