PM Modi offers prayers at Jagannath temple in Puri

Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered prayers at Odisha's famous Jagannath temple in Puri on Monday and attacked the ruling BJD government over the missing keys of the Ratna Bhandar (treasury). Ramping up his offensive against Naveen Patnaik's party, PM Modi said the 12th century temple was not safe under BJD rule.

Addressing a rally in Angul, PM Modi said, "Jagannath temple in Puri is not safe under BJD rule. 'Ratna Bhandar' keys have been missing for the last 6 years." Puri goes to the polls along with the state capital Bhubaneswar on May 25.
