West Bengal Rath Yatra | West Bengal's 5 Lakhs Aid for Rath Yatra Committees Sparks Political Row
A political row has erupted in West Bengal after the state government announced financial assistance of ₹5,00000 each for 60 Rath Yatra committees ahead of the festival. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) defended the move, saying Rath Yatras have always been held peacefully under Mamata Banerjee's leadership. The BJP, however, questioned the government's intent and accused it of political opportunism, triggering a fresh political face-off.
