NEW DELHI: The Delhi BJP celebrating Makar Sankranti while skipping Pongal festival on the same day has left a section of party workers bewildered. Questioning the rationale behind giving a miss to Pongal, the harvest festival observed by Tamils, senior party leaders said they have no official information why no event was planned on the occasion this time unlike previous years.
“Why are we ignoring nearly 20 lakh south Indian voters in the national capital while the Arvind Kejriwal-led state government has created a ‘Tamil Academy’? Interestingly, Delhi BJP has also a South Indian Cell. Till last year, Pongal was celebrated by the cell which was headed by Jai Kumar Anna.”
