Suvendu Adhikari Proposes Dry Day and Grant Cuts for Durga Puja If Voted to Power

BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari has announced key changes he would implement for Durga Puja if his party comes to power in West Bengal. He proposed declaring a dry day during the festival and cutting state grants given to puja committees. The Trinamool Congress government had previously provided Rs 1.10 lakh to each puja committee during the last festive season. Adhikari argued that a Chief Minister should not use public funds to finance a religious celebration. The announcement signals a sharp policy contrast between the BJP and the ruling Trinamool Congress ahead of elections.
