This time, the controversy centers around the Jagannath Dham in Digha, where the BJP has raised objections over the preparation and distribution of prasad being carried out by shops allegedly owned by Muslims. The issue has sparked a political storm, with the BJP's entire state leadership accusing the TMC government of intentionally provoking and disrespecting Hindu beliefs.

BJP's central co-observer for Bengal and IT cell head Amit Malviya has made grave allegations against the Mamata Banerjee-led government, claiming that the sacred prasad of Lord Jagannath at the Digha Jagannath temple has been assigned to non-Hindus—specifically Muslim—vendors. Malviya took to social media to expose what he referred to as a blatant act of religious insensitivity and administrative negligence.
