Senior BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari on Friday said that over "1 crore Hindus" will participate in around 2,000 Ram Navami rallies across West Bengal on April 6, reported news agency PTI.

Adhikari, who was speaking at a programme in his constituency Nandigram in Purba Medinipur district, called upon Ram Navami organisers not to seek permission from the administration to take out rallies as "we do not need permission to pray to Lord Ram".
