Lord Ram Temple task over, now talk of work: Uddhav to Modi

Nashik: Opening the election war front with the Bharatiya Janata Party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Shiv Sena (UBT) President Uddhav Thackeray said here on Tuesday that “now the Lord Ram Temple task over, the PM should talk work”. In a scathing attack, Thackeray said that he and his party had campaigned vigorously for Modi in the last two Parliament elections, and the late Balasaheb Thackeray had tied up with BJP for the cause of Hindutva.

“At that time, we were not dishonest… Now, suddenly we are branded as corrupt… So many of my party leaders like Kishori Pednekar, Rajan Salvi, Suraj Chavan, Ravindra Waikar, Anil Parab are facing allegations, Sanjay Raut was even jailed on false charges. We are being hounded and defamed by the central investigation agencies,” said Thackeray, addressing a party convention.
