Try it at the Congress-NCP camp by announcing the move to Ayodhya

Mumbai, Ta. January 23, 2020, Thursday

Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has announced his decision to go to Ayodhya in March to mark 100 days of his government's completion. With this announcement, a duel has begun between the BJP and the constituent parties of the Secular Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA), a pre-Shiv Sena ally.

Uddhav Thackeray's visit to Ram Janmabhoomi city may make the Congress and NCP camp uncomfortable. The MVA's government was formed on the basis that Shiv Sena did not showcase its Hindutva precision.

BJP's national spokesperson Meenakshi Lekhi promptly welcomed Thackeray's decision, asking whether Uddhav Thackeray would take the Congress along with him in his Ayodhya visit. Sena Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut tweeted, saying that the army wants its allies to come to Ayodhya. Rahul Gandhi himself goes to the temple in many temples.

On the other hand, the Congress cautioned the army that the visit to Ayodhya should not be a public demonstration. While the NCP responded that our party does not mix religion with politics.

Congress spokesperson Sachin Sawant said that our party was not playing religion-based politics. 'We go to temples but not for politics or appearance. Lord Ram is a symbol of love and sacrifice. He said that if we look at them, our feelings of hatred will disappear.
