Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday inaugurated a Ram Mandir-themed Durga Puja in Kolkata and said he would pray to the goddess that corruption, injustice and atrocities end soon in West Bengal.
Shah left the city shortly after inaugurating the puja mandap at Santosh Mitra Square in central Kolkata.
Addressing the gathering before inaugurating the mandap, Shah said he wouldn’t talk about politics on the occasion but at the same time pledged to continue his fight in the state until a change of government takes place.
‘Today’s occasion is not ideal to discuss politics, but I will keep coming to Bengal and continue my fight until we see a change in the state’s (political) landscape. I would pray to goddess Durga for an end to corruption, crime, injustice and atrocities in the state at the earliest,’ said the Union Home Minister.
Shah also commended the puja organisers for the pandal design, which resembles the upcoming Ram temple in Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh.
