Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday left Kashi Mahakal Express from his constituency in Varanasi. However, controversy has started over the Express. One seat in the train was reserved for Lord Shiva.

The train will help to visit the three Jyotirlinga Dham Omkeshwar (Indore), Mahakaleshwar (Ujain) and Kashi Viswanath in Varanasi. The seat number 64 of this train, which is located in coach number B-5, has been reserved, meaning that the seat will be empty. Where no pilgrim can sit.

The train is named Kashi Mahakal Express. Informing about this, Northern Railway spokesperson Deepak Kumar said that for the first time a seat has been reserved for the train for God. A temple is also painted on this seat so that people will realize that this is the seat of Lord Shiva.

However, no decision has been taken as to whether the meeting will be reserved for permanent. The train will cover 1131 km distance, run between Varanasi to Indore and pass through Lucknow. By the time Prayagraj runs, its distance will be 1102 km and it will take about 19 hours total.

AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi, on the other hand, objected to this as well as tweeted the Constitution's proposal. In this tweet, Owaisi also tagged the PMO.

The disadvantage of this train is that it is chanting the mantra of Om Nama without every coach of AC-3 series. At the same time, Lord Shiva's songs and melodies are played. The theme of this train is designed at Bhakti Bhawan so that the passengers feel that they are going to travel.
