The Congress party has accused Kerala’s Left Democratic Front (LDF) government of aiding the alleged theft of 4.5 kg of gold from Sabarimala Temple. The controversy involves gold-plated copper casings from temple idols and fittings, removed in 2019 by the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB), with nearly 475 g still missing. Opposition leaders claim the government protected those responsible, calling it the biggest fraud in the temple’s history. The Congress has demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe and the resignation of officials linked to the alleged misappropriation. (PC: The Hindu)
