BJP leader Chitra Wagh on Thursday said there should not be any objection if Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar visits the RSS founder’s memorial as the Sangh had contributed to the victory of all Mahayuti allies.
The Mahayuti, comprising the BJP, Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar’s NCP, secured a landslide victory in the Maharashtra assembly elections last month by securing 230 of the 288 seats.
On Thursday, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy CM Shinde, several other BJP and Shiv Sena leaders as well as some NCP legislators visited the memorial of RSS founder Dr K B Hedgewar at Reshimbagh in Nagpur during the legislature session underway in the city.
After visiting the memorial, Shinde said no one can ignore the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s (RSS) contribution to nation-building and that the ideologies of the Sangh Parivar and Shiv Sena are same.
Ajit Pawar did not visit the memorial, though two legislators of his party went there.
Speaking to reporters during her visit to Hedgewar’s memorial, BJP MLC Chitra Wagh said there should not be any problem with NCP leaders, including Ajit Pawar, visiting Reshimbagh.
