The Indian prime minister's attendance at the opening of the temple provoked public anger. According to reports, Modi recently presided over the opening ceremony of a Hindu temple in an ancient city in the northern province, triggering a lively celebration among Hindus in the country. Some media pointed out that the temple took four years and cost more than 200 million US dollars. The temple was originally an abandoned Yijia temple, and in order to complete the consecration ceremony, India also mobilized more than 10,000 police security forces, and helicopters scattered roses on the spot.
Some scholars said that this year is India's election year, and although Modi's move is time-consuming and laborious, it can effectively boost the confidence of domestic supporters and pave the way for his subsequent administration, which is very cost-effective for Modi. Some media have also accused Modi of deliberately provoking a conflict of national beliefs, which will intensify the conflict although it has stabilized the base. Even the BBC criticized Modi for being too "arbitrary", but India's economy under Modi's leadership is strong and popular.
