New Delhi: On the completion of hundred days in power, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray will pay a visit to Ayodhya to offer prayers to Lord Ram at the Ram Janmbhoomi, Shiv Sena spokesperson Sanjay Raut announced. "Chalo Ayodhya! CM #UddhavThackeray will visit Ayodhya on the completion of 100 days in power! @OfficeofUT," Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Raut tweeted on Wednesday. He also said that the ministers of alliance partners - Congress and NCP - can also accompany Chief Minister Thackeray. "We have a relation with Ayodhya. The relation is of devotion and trust. We have our government with Uddhav Thackeray as the Chief Minister thanks to the blessings of Lord Ram," said Raut.

"Our duty is to pay obeisance to Lord Ram on the completion of 100 days of our government. Chief Minister Thackeray will go there and bow to the feet of Lord Ram. Ministers from our alliance partners can also accompany him," he said. "It is a matter of faith. Rahul Gandhi also goes to temples. He went to Somnath and other temples. The government runs on social justice, employment and other welfare measures," he added. This move comes at a time when, Raj Thackeray’s Shiv Sena may possibly announce a shift in its stand towards Hindutva. The party is also likely to launch a new saffron flag. The Maha Vikas Aghadi government of Shiv Sena-Congress-NCP was formed in November last year after the BJP failed to prove his majority in the State assembly.
