Politics Over Diwali Diyas: Akhilesh Questions Spending, BJP Hits Back, Congress Supports
A political storm brews ahead of Diwali after Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav questioned the government’s spending on diyas and decorations in Ayodhya
His comment — “Why spend money on lamps and candles?” — sparked widespread political reactions. BJP leaders slammed Akhilesh, saying he was undermining India’s cultural traditions and the Ayodhya Deepotsav, where over 26 lakh diyas are set to light up the city. Congress leader Udit Raj, however, supported Akhilesh’s statement, calling the large-scale diya expenditure wasteful and harmful to the environment.
