Summary:
Mumbai, Jan 24 (PTI) A day after Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray"s comments on Hindutva, senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Monday hit back at former ally Shiv Sena, saying its Hindutva is merely on paper and doesn"t go beyond speeches.
Fadnavis said under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a Ram temple is being built in Ayodhya.
Modi also developed the Kashi Vishwanath temple corridor, the former Maharashtra CM said addressing a press conference.
On the other hand, the Sena (which is in power in Maharashtra) could not even rename Aurangabad as Sambhajinagar, and Osmanabad as Dharashiv.
But, Allahabad was renamed as Prayagraj (under the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh), while the Sena kept merely mincing words, he said.
The Shiv Sena has time and again referred to Aurangabad — a city built by Mughal ruler Aurangzeb — as Sambhajinagar after second Maratha king Chhatrapati Sambhaji (the son of Maratha warrior Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj), and Osmanabad as Dharashiv.
