बारा ज्योतिर्लिंगांपैकी एक असलेले भिमाशंकर मंदिर अगदी महाशिवरात्री रोजीही सामान्य जनतेसाठी बंद असताना महाराष्ट्राद्रोही खा. निशिकांत दुबे यांच्यासाठी उघडं केले होते. याबाबत आम्ही प्रश्न विचारला होता.

The temple, which is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, has been closed to devotees for the past two and a half months due to ongoing construction work. However, despite being closed, Dubey, along with his wife, arrived by helicopter and was granted darshan. Videos and pictures of the same have gone viral on social media, triggering anger among local devotees.

In this situation, the VIP treatment given to the MP from Godda in Jharkhand reeks of discrimination. Several devotees have questioned why strict rules are applied to the public while exceptions are allegedly made for politicians.
Meanwhile, the Pune district administration said that no official permission had been sought or granted for the visit. Officials added that they are examining how Dubey was allowed inside the temple despite the closure.
