BJP to TMC : withdraw lockdown on August 5 for celebration of bhoomi pujan in Ayodhya

Taking a swipe at the TMC government for selecting August 5 for complete lockdown in West Bengal when 'bhoomi pujan' (groundbreaking rituals) is scheduled in Ayodhya for the construction of the Ram temple, the state BJP on Monday demanded that the TMC ministry shift the date like it did for the Eid festival.
