In Madhya Pradesh, the damage to six out of seven Saptarishi statues following a powerful thunderstorm at the Mahakal Lok temple corridor in Ujjain has become a major political issue. The incident has caused the Congress to allege irregularities in the construction work of the grand temple corridor, whose completed first phase was unveiled only seven months ago by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Meanwhile, the Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led BJP government hit back at the Congress, accusing them of petty politicking on the issue to hurt the religious sentiments of people. The concerned agency, a Surat-based company, will be replacing the displaced statues with new ones within a week since the statues were damaged within the three years maintenance period.
The Surat-based company mentioned in the article is the agency responsible for the damaged statues in the Mahakal Lok temple corridor. They will be replacing the damaged statues under the three-year maintenance period.
The person mentioned in the article is Bhupendra Singh, the Minister of Urban Development and Housing. On Tuesday, Singh commented on the incident and criticized the Congress for politicizing the issue.
In conclusion, the political controversy over the Mahakal Lok temple corridor in Madhya Pradesh highlights the importance of proper construction and maintenance of religious sites. The incident serves as a reminder that politics should not be inserted into sensitive religious issues. It is essential to ensure proper procedures and measures are taken to protect valuable religious statues and structures.
