BJP vs Trinamool In Bengal Temple Politics And A "Fake Hindu" Jibe | Read
A newly built temple dedicated to Lord Jagannath in the coastal town of Digha in West Bengal has become the centre of a political flashpoint between Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's government and the BJP.
The BJP has called Ms Banerjee a "fake Hindu", stating that government funds cannot be used for building temples.
"Puri Dham will remain Puri Dham. Mamata Banerjee is a fake Hindu. Temples can't be built using government funds. It is a cultural centre, not a temple. Don't mislead the people of Bengal. Hindus make temples on their own. No government fund was used to build the Ram temple (in Ayodhya). Hindus across the world funded it," said BJP leader and the Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari.
