Thackeray had last visited Ayodhya following Shiv Sena’s stellar performance in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, News 18 has reported.

Lucknow: Shiv Sena supremo, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray will visit Ayodhya with his family on Saturday, March 7. This is his first visit after he has taken oath as Maharashtra CM.

Thackeray will offer his prayers and perform an ‘Aarti’ on the bank of holy Saryu River.

Speaking to the media ahead of Maharashtra CM’s visit, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut said, “On the completion of 100 days of Maharashtra government, Thackeray will visit Ayodhya to pay homage to Ram Lalla.”

Raut met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at the Lok Bhawan in Lucknow on Thursday to discuss the arrangements of Thackeray’s visit to Ayodhya.

A special train of ‘Shiv Sainiks’ is expected to reach the town ahead of Thackeray’s visit. Other leaders from Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Congress will also accompany the Maharashtra Chief Minister in the visit.

Thackeray had visited Ayodhya after Shiv Sena gave a galactic performance in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. However, he had promised to visit Ayodhya on November 24 after the NCP core committee resolved to form an alternative government in the state. The promised visit had been postponed since then.
