Ayodhya-Style Ram Temple Planned in Bengal's Nadia, BJP MLA Denies Political Motive

• An Ayodhya-style 'Bengali Ram' temple is proposed in Nadia district, West Bengal, following a Babri-themed mosque foundation in Murshidabad.
• The temple, dedicated to poet Krittibas Ojha, aims to be a cultural center for Bengal's heritage, not just a religious structure.
• The Shri Krittibas Ram Mandir Trust is undertaking the project, with a final land survey completed recently.
• The project, in the works since 2017, will be built on 15 bighas of donated land with a Rs 100 crore fund, aiming for completion by 2028.
• BJP MLA Arindam Bhattacharya, president of the trust, denies political association, stating it's a spiritual movement rooted in 'Ram Rajya'.

Why It Matters: An Ayodhya-style Ram temple is planned in Bengal, with organizers emphasizing cultural and spiritual over political motives.
