The whole of Malabar area saw an unscheduled power cut today. Commies just didn't want Hindus to watch the Bhoomi Pujan at Ayodhya. A very dangerous road ahead for Hindus in Kerala.

People from West Bengal too complained of powercuts while the Bhoomi Poojan was underway. In one of the videos, it was alleged that the saffron flags that were kept outside to commemorate the event was taken down by one person. However, the authenticity of this video has not been verified.
