Ahead of Uddhav Thackeray's Ayodhya visit, Shiv Sena says Ram temple will be built under leadership of Modi, Yogi
Ahead of Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray's visit here on Sunday to offer prayers at the makeshift Ram Lalla temple, his party leader Sanjay Raut said the Ram temple will be constructed under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
He said Thackeray, who will be joined by 18 newly elected party MPs, is fulfilling the promise he made in November that he would visit again after elections and asserted that his party has "not sought votes in the name of Ram and will not do so in future".
This will be Thackeray's first visit to Ayodhya after the 2019 Lok Sabha results last month. He had visited Ayodhya in November last year.
The Shiv Sena had earlier announced that Uddhav Thackeray and the newly elected MPs would visit Ayodhya before the beginning of the Parliament session on Monday.
However, the party's state unit chief Anil Singh said the visit should not been seen from the electoral lens and it was "a matter of devotion and faith".
Maharashtra will be going to the polls later in the year.
"It (Ram temple) will be constructed under Modi and Yogi's leadership. The BJP will decide on it. The majority in 2019 is for construction of Ram temple. In Rajya Sabha too we will get majority by 2020," said Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut. He asserted that his party has "not sought votes in the name of Ram and will not do so in future".
He also took part in the week-long celebrations to mark the birthday of Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas chief Mahant Nritya Gopal Das.
