The "safety" of the Ratna Bhandar (treasure trove) of the renowned Puri Jagannath temple is a topic that top party leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, keep bringing up as the BJP works hard to improve its performance in Odisha and makes repeated claims of winning enough seats to form the government in the state.

When Modi does his roadshow in Puri on Monday, it is anticipated that the topic that is very important to the people of Odisha will come up again.
