NEW DELHI: Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday asserted that he might have broken ranks with the BJP but never left the Hindutva ideology.
The Shiv Sena chief, who is in Ayodhya to commemorate 100 days in office, has often faced questions for forming a government in Maharashtra with ideologically different NCP and Congress.
“Main BJP se alag hua hun, Hindutva se nahi. BJP ka matlab Hindutva nahi hai. Hindutva alag hai, BJP alag hai. (I might have parted ways with the BJP, but not Hindutva. BJP does not represent Hindutva. They are both different),” he said while addressing reporters in Ayodhya.
