RJD's 'temple means mental slavery' poster triggers row

IndiaTimes Monday, 1 January 2024
A controversial poster criticizing temples, equating them with superstition, idiocy, and ignorance, surfaced outside the residence of RJD chief Lalu Prasad's wife Rabri Devi. The poster features the photograph of RJD MLA Fateh Bahadur Singh and prominent party leaders. It drew criticism from the BJP and JD(U) in Bihar ahead of the inauguration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya. The BJP called RJD "anti-Sanatan" and emphasized that the Ram temple symbolizes the faith of the nation. RJD MP Manoj Jha criticized BJP for using the temple card for political gain.
