BJP Lashes Out At BJD For Allowing Influencer Kamiya Jani Into Puri Jagannath Temple

The BJP’s Odisha unit came down heavily on BJD leader VK Pandian for giving social media influencer Kamiya Jani access to the Jagannath Puri shrine.

The BJP alleged that she is known for promoting beef consumption. Jain and her popular online blog ‘Curly Tales’ came to be at the center of a political slugfest between the BJP and the ruling BJD.

This comes after her video with Pandian on Jagannath temple premises went viral on social media.

The video stoked a furor after the BJP’s Odisha unit shared an earlier screenshot of the YouTuber purportedly consuming beef and juxtaposing it with an image of her eating the Mahaprasadam.

BJP accused the influencer of being a ‘beef promoter’ and accused the BJD leader of granting her access to the temple premises.
