💨 Abstract

Union Minister Ramdas Athawale met Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, discussing the Buddhist community's demand for control over the Mahabodhi Temple Trust. The issue stems from the Mahabodhi Temple Act, which requires equal representation from Hindu and Buddhist communities, with the district magistrate as chairperson. Athawale supports scrapping the act and pledged to back Buddhist monks in their fight for control over the temple trust.
