India Today
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena secretary Gajanan Kale shared a photo of Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar and UP BJP MP Brijbhushan Sharan Singh hinting at Pawar’s involvement in Raj Thackeray’s Ayodhya tour being stalled.
Two days after Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray alleged that an ‘invisible hand from Maharashtra’ was behind his Ayodhya tour being stalled, his party leaders tweeted a photo of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar and BJP MP from Kaiserganj in Uttar Pradesh, Brijbhushan Sharan Singh, hinting that the invisible hand could have been that of Sharad Pawar.
MNS general secretary Gajanan Kale shared a picture from 2018 showing Pawar and Singh together at a function in Maharashtra’s Pune district.
“The creators of “Brij”, Intelligent people needn’t be told more,” Kale wrote in his tweets with the photo of Pawar, NCP MP Supriya Sule, and Singh.
Raj Thackeray along with his newfound agenda of Hindutva was set to take the next leap with Raj’s proposed visit to Ayodhya.
But Singh was up in arms against Thackeray demanding an apology for the attacks on north Indian migrants in Mumbai.
The row escalated as Brijbhushan was adamant about this and announced that Raj would not be allowed to enter Uttar Pradesh without an apology.
Addressing his party workers in Pune on Sunday, Raj announced that he was cancelling his Ayodhya tour for now.
