Prime Minister Narendra Modi has raised concerns over the missing keys of the Ratna Bhandar, the treasury of the 12th century Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odisha. The treasury contains gold and jewelry offered by devotees from around the world. Modi's remarks have sparked a political controversy, with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin accusing the Prime Minister of inciting hatred by suggesting that the missing keys were sent to Tamil Nadu. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has also questioned Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, referred to as Naveen Babu, about the whereabouts of the keys and the use of duplicate keys. Shah promised that if the BJP wins 75 Assembly seats, they will uncover the secrets of the missing keys and the investigation report. The controversy has led to heated exchanges between political leaders, with allegations of looting and misuse of temple wealth. The keys have been missing for 6 years, and BJD’s VK Pandian has attempted to clear the air on the allegations.
