Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday, 15 December, announced that his government will take up restoration and preservation of ancient temples, with an aim to "promote ancient culture and traditions".
“My government will work for the preservation of the cultural heritage and richness of the temples,” Thackeray said while taking a dig at old allies Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
In the veiled attack, the Maharashtra Chief Minister said “This will tell you that we (Shiv Sena) have not left Hindutva,” reported The Indian Express.
This comes after the BJP accused CM Uddhav Thackeray of “compromising” on his Hindutva credentials for the “sake of power.”
