Shivasena UBT leader Raut said the Ayodhya consecration programme turned into BJP programme

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut criticized the BJP, stating that the saffron party had “kidnapped” Lord Shri Ram in the context of the Ayodhya Ram temple consecration.

Raut questioned the need for an invitation, asserting that Shiv Sena has an old association with Ayodhya. He accused BJP of politicizing Lord Ram and emphasized that the ceremony is a BJP program. Raut stated that Shiv Sena contributed to the temple’s construction and would worship Ramlala after the BJP’s program concludes.
