NRI wins Guruvayur temple’s Mahindra Thar
The Hindu
Objection over handing over vehicle
Bahrain-based Malayali Amal Mohammed Ali won a Mahindra Thar of the Guruvayur Sreekrishna temple in an auction on Saturday.
He bid ₹15.10 lakh for the red limited edition SUV, which was offered to the temple by the Mahindra Group recently. The base price was set at ₹15 lakh.
However, soon after the auction, some in the Devaswom raised objections against handing over the vehicle. Following the protest, Guruvayur Devaswom Chairman K.B. Mohandas said the management committee would meet again on December 21 to take a final decision.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
