Bengal BJP Says Eating Non-Veg During Durga Puja Personal Choice: 'Even Swami Vivekanand Approved Of It'
SUMMARY
Bengal BJP distanced itself from the party's national stance on vegetarianism, stating that eating non-veg during Durga Puja is a personal choice. BJP leaders in West Bengal cited Swami Vivekananda, who advocated strength through all foods, including non-vegetarian meals. This comes amid growing debates over food habits linked to Hindu festivals. The Bengal unit emphasized regional cultural traditions, where animal sacrifice and non-veg consumption are integral to Durga Puja celebrations, distinguishing Bengal's practices from North Indian norms.

Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana: Will marriage lock or unlock your SSY account?
SUMMARY
# Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana: Impact of Marriage on SSY Account
Under Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana, if the girl child marries before turning 21, the SSY account can be prematurely closed. The account matures at age 21, but marriage after 18 allows early withdrawal. Contributions are mandatory for 15 years, and the account earns 8.2% interest. Upon marriage, the account holder can withdraw the full amount with interest by submitting marriage proof. Marriage doesn't lock the account; rather, it unlocks premature closure benefits, ensuring financial security for the girl child's future needs.
