Maha CM skips puja at Pandharpur temple amid protest threats
Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis on Monday skipped the annual puja at Lord Vitthal Temple in Pandharpur and performed the rituals at his Mumbai residence after Maratha groups seeking reservation threatened to disrupt the event. Fadnavis, who performed the puja for three years, said he skipped the event this year to ensure the safety of 10 lakh devotees at the temple.
