Barely a week after it strategically timed the inauguration of the Jagannath Temple Parikrama project in Puri with the Ram Temple consecration in Ayodhya, the Naveen Patnaik-led Biju Janata Dal (BJD) government is rolling out the second phase of its temple gambit, this time in the BJP’s western Odisha stronghold.
Former Odisha Chief Minister and nine-time MP Giridhar Gamang, 80, returned to the Congress fold on Wednesday, nine years after he resigned from the party.
BEATING the Ayodhya consecration by five days, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik willroll out his own temple gambit on Wednesday. The heritage corridor or Parikrama Prakalpa around the Puri Jagannath Temple is a project that the BJD government launched five years ago, and promoted with much fanfare — and as elections come around, this may be the biggest ace up its sleeve against its principal opposition in state politics, the BJP.
The Odisha government has planned to mobilise around 10,000 people daily for a month to visit the Shree Mandira Parikrama Project – a Rs 800-crore heritage corridor around Puri’s renowned Jagannath Temple – which will be inaugurated on January 17.
