'Isn’t faith supposed to be equal for all?': Harsh Goenka on VIP culture at Mumbai’s Lalbaugcha Raja
Lalbaugcha Raja is one of the most popular Ganpati mandals in Mumbai.
Every year, lakhs of devotees visit the mandal to seek blessings from Lord Ganesha.
However, this year, the mandal has been accused of giving preferential treatment to VIPs.
This has led to anger and resentment among common devotees.
Industrialist Harsh Goenka has also expressed his disappointment over the VIP culture at Lalbaugcha Raja.
In a tweet, he said, “Isn’t faith supposed to be equal for all? Why this VIP culture at Lalbaugcha Raja? Ordinary devotees wait for hours in serpentine queues while VIPs get direct access. This is not fair.”
The Lalbaugcha Raja mandal has denied the allegations of VIP culture.
They have said that they do not give any preferential treatment to VIPs.
However, many devotees have come forward with their own experiences of being treated differently at the mandal.
One devotee said, “I have been visiting Lalbaugcha Raja for the past 10 years. But this year, I was shocked to see how VIPs were being given special treatment. They were allowed to enter the sanctum sanctorum without waiting in the queue. This is not fair to ordinary devotees like me.”
The VIP culture at Lalbaugcha Raja is a matter of concern.
It is important to remember that faith should be equal for all. VIPs should not be given any special treatment at religious places.
The Lalbaugcha Raja mandal should take steps to ensure that all devotees are treated equally.
They should also make sure that there is no VIP culture at the mandal.
If the mandal fails to take action, it could lead to a loss of faith among devotees.
People may start to feel that they are not welcome at Lalbaugcha Raja if they are not VIPs.
