A Durga temple in Asansol, which remained largely closed for years due to local tensions and administrative restrictions, has reopened following the BJP’s sweeping victory in West Bengal.The temple, previously accessible only during major festivals, became a symbol of restricted public religious space over time. Its reopening came after BJP MLA Krishnendu Mukherjee fulfilled a campaign promise amid the party’s clean sweep of Paschim Bardhaman district.This development unfolds against the backdrop of a historic political shift, with the BJP winning 206 seats and ending Mamata Banerjee’s 15-year rule.
