really, the courage of the district administration officials to take a stand against the will political big bosses of a state which is ruled by BJP+BJD is some thing which needs to be appreciated.
Advani should not drag religious places unnecessarily in to communal politics. He may be a good leader... some of the stands of BJP could be correct, but that does not make this Rath yatra look clean. In spite of all the clarification by the BJP regarding the Rath yatra, it's obvious to everyone that BJP wants to gain some political mileage from the recent attacks on Hindu religious places. OK, BJP is free to do that, but Puri is not the right place to start such a rath yatra, and the district administration has done the correct thing by not allowing the yatra. Places like Puri has lot of emotional value for people and any attempt to manipulate that emotion to any narrow political advantage is not ethical.
