Modi’s Photo with Durga: AAP Accuses BJP of Faith Politicization
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has levelled serious allegations against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Delhi. The AAP claims the BJP is using religious events for political mileage.
The controversy centers around an alleged directive to Durga Puja organizers. Organizers are reportedly being asked to display Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s photograph alongside Goddess Durga’s idol.
AAP leaders have denounced this move as blatant politicization of faith. They argue this action prioritizes political gains over easing bureaucratic processes for the smooth conduct of the Pujas.
The party alleges this interference creates unnecessary hurdles for organizers already burdened with logistical challenges. This, they say, undermines the spirit of the festival.
This incident comes at a time when Delhi is gearing up for the grand Durga Puja celebrations. The AAP’s accusations are likely to fuel a political firestorm in the run-up to the festival. The BJP is yet to respond officially. The impact of this controversy on the upcoming festive season and public sentiment remains to be seen.
