"We supported BJP in Ram Temple movement but...": Uddhav Thackeray

Nashik (Maharashtra) [India], January 23 : Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday said that Shiv Sena since the beginning supported the Bharatiya Janata Party in the Ramjanambhoomi movement but in return, the BJP is trying to destroy Shiv Sena.
Addressing a public meeting in Nashik, Uddhav Thackeray said," A long-awaited dream has been fulfilled. We were never against Ram Temple. These days no one knows what Balasaheb Thackeray did. Balasaheb Thackeray took all the responsibility for the Babri Masjid demolition. We had supported the BJP in the Ram Temple movement but they are trying to destroy Shiv Sena."
Earlier today, asserting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi fulfilled the dreams of Balasaheb Thackeray of the Ram Temple, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said that those who opposed the Ram Temple do not have the right to take Ram Lalla's name.
"Jo Ram Ka nahin vo kisi kaam ka nahin (Those who are not for Ram are of no use). Those who opposed the Ram Temple do not have the right to take Ram Lalla's name. PM Modi fulfilled the dreams of Balasaheb Thackeray and crores of devotees of Lord Ram. Yesterday was a historic day," Maharashtra CM told reporters on Tuesday.
He further attacked former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and said that he betrayed the idea of Balasaheb Thackeray just for power.
The Pran Pratishtha of Ram Lalla at Ram Temple in Ayodhya was held on Monday. The Ram Lalla idol was unveiled at the Pran Pratishtha ceremony after the hour-long rituals in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who led the ceremony.
