BJP Aims to Counter 'Anti-Bengali' Tag with Cultural Outreach
The BJP is trying to show it cares about Bengali culture during Durga Puja, a big celebration for Bengalis.
To do this, the Prime Minister wore Bengali clothes and went to a Durga Puja celebration in Delhi.
This is because another party, the Trinamool Congress, has said the BJP is against Bengali people.
