Former MP Digvijaya Singh alleges donation theft at Mahakaleshwar temple, calls for probe

Former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Digvijaya Singh claimed that donations (chanda) are being misappropriated at the Mahakaleshwar temple, echoing similar accusations made about the Ram temple. He accused the ruling BJP and the central government of a pattern of religious‑site corruption, citing alleged land grabs and vote‑bank fraud. Congress media spokesperson Rakesh Sinha responded by labeling the allegations "serious" and demanding a high‑level judicial investigation, while also criticizing the government for alleged misconduct in multiple temple‑related matters. The controversy has drawn further remarks on related political and administrative issues, but no official action has yet been announced.
