Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday for its leaders` pledge to organize trips to Ayodhya once the Ram temple is complete, humorously remarking that the ruling party seems to have established a "tours and travels department."
Thackeray`s comments were triggered by Union Home Minister Amit Shah`s assurance in Madhya Pradesh that the BJP government would arrange a visit to Ayodhya for the state`s residents if the party stays in power. Mumbai BJP president Ashish Shelar also announced plans for a special train to Ayodhya for Mumbaikars after January 24 next year to visit the newly-constructed Ram temple.
