Sena Slams BJP For Criticising Uddhav Thackeray Over Ayodhya Visit

The Shiv Sena on Monday termed the BJP as the "real hypocrite" for criticising Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray over his Ayodhya visit, saying this exposes the "evil intentions" of its former ally.

An editorial in Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana' said the opposition in Maharashtra is baffled because the Shiv Sena, despite joining hands with its ideological opponent Congress, has not distanced itself from 'Hindutva'.

On completion of his 100 days in office, Mr Thackeray visited the temple town of Ayodhya on Saturday and paid obeisance to Ram Lalla at the makeshift Ram Janambhoomi temple there.
