The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party plans to inaugurate the newly-constructed Kashi Vishwanath Temple Corridor on December 13. It also has plans to organise a big spectacle by organising Deepotsava across the state for three days starting from December 12 to be followed by a month-long function.
BJP state president Swatantra Dev Singh said that the live telecast of the inaugural ceremony would be made in every village, mutt-temple of the state and Deepotsav would also be organised across the state on December 12, 13 and 14.
He further said that religious leaders, saints and intellectuals from all over the country would attend the inauguration of the Vishwanath Dham Corridor.
“This programme will be a symbol of social harmony, unity and integrity of Indian culture. The resolution taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to build a new Kashi is about to take shape. To make this programme historic, BJP national president JP Nadda has proposed several programmes at the party level and these events will run for a month across the state. These programmes will start from December 13 and will continue till Makar Sankranti on January 14. Public representatives of the party will participate in these programmes,” Singh said while addressing media persons in Lucknow on Wednesday.
