Ayodhya has turned saffron with the arrival of the Shiv Sainiks today. Thousands of Shiv Sainiks have also reached the city and almost all hotels, guest houses and dharamshalas in the temple town have been booked to accommodate Shiv Sena Ministers, MPs and MLAs.
The Shiv Sena is planning to highlight CM Eknath Shinde’s visit to Ayodhya across the country.
Shinde had visited Ayodhya as a Shiv Sena leader on November 25, 2018, a year before the Supreme Court announced the verdict in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute.
He also visited Ayodhya in March 2020 and June last year.
Talking about his visit to Ayodhya for the first time after becoming the Chief Minister, Mr. Shinde said he was happy and satisfied to see the atmosphere here.
He expressed his gratitude to Uttar Pradesh Ministers and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, whom he will be meeting later in the day in Lucknow.
Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray wanted to see a grand Ram temple come up in Ayodhya, Shinde had said.Deputy CM Fadnavis was also there at the Temple.
