Bengal Polls Next Year, Digha Jagannath Temple Trinamool's Hindu Outreach
The replica of Puri Jagannath temple, built at a cost of Rs 250 crore in Bengal's seaside town of Digha, was consecrated today, marking Mamata Banerjee's outreach to the Hindus. The inauguration of the temple took place yesterday and today, the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya was reserved for the consecration of the idols.
Ms Banerjee's government, in a reprisal of the BJP's Ayodhya temple inauguration, had set up huge screens across the state to live telecast the ceremony, which started at 2.30 pm.
