Remarking that the Shiv Sena’s Hindutva was ‘clean’ and that the party never broke electoral promises, Maharashtra Minister and Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray on Wednesday said that his Ayodhya visit was not political but a purely devotional one.
“This is not a political visit or a tour to secure electoral benefits, but a purely devotional one. We have come here to seek the blessings of Lord Ram. Enthusiastic Shiv Sainiks from Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and other parts of the country have come to take the darshan of Ram Lalla,” said Mr. Thackeray, speaking to presspersons during his first solo visit to Ayodhya today.
Making a veiled jibe at the BJP, he said that the Shiv Sena’s Hindutva is ‘clean’ and that the party’s politics was simple.
