On the day of the consecration of the Ram Mandir, the central government has declared a half-day holiday for government employees on January 22. This has sparked a political debate in Bihar, with the state BJP demanding that the state government also declare a holiday in the name of Ram. The demand comes from Kuntal Krishna, a spokesperson for the Bihar BJP.
The Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is considered a significant religious site for Hindus, and the consecration ceremony is a momentous occasion. The central government’s decision to declare a half-day holiday for government employees shows its recognition of the importance of this event. However, the Bihar BJP believes that the state government should also acknowledge the significance of the day by declaring a holiday.
The demand for a holiday in Bihar on the day of the Ram Mandir consecration reflects the growing political significance of the temple in the state. The BJP, which is in power in Bihar, sees this as an opportunity to strengthen its support base among the Hindu population. By demanding a holiday, the party aims to show its commitment to the cause of Ram and gain political mileage from the event.
It remains to be seen whether the Bihar government will accede to the BJP’s demand and declare a holiday on January 22. The decision will have implications not only for government employees but also for the political landscape in Bihar. As the debate continues, the Ram Mandir consecration remains a highly anticipated event for millions of Hindus across the country.
