Notwithstanding the ruling Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress combine mentioning the word “secular” in the preamble of its Common Minimum Programme (CMP), Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday, 1 December said he would never abandon the ideology of Hindutva.
Thackeray, who heads the Sena, told the Legislative Assembly that ideology of Hindutva cannot be separated from him.
“I am still with the ideology of Hindutva which cannot be separated from me,” he said while addressing the special session.
Thackeray also took a swipe at former chief minister and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Hindutva.
“To keep a promise is also part of my Hindutva. I have been following my Hindutva yesterday, today and will continue to do so in future as well,” Thackeray said.
