Hindutva has always been our agenda: Devendra Fadnavis

While speaking to the reporters after the meeting, Devendra Fadnavis, when quizzed about what transpired in the meeting and whether 'Hindutva' was a part of the discussions, said, "We (CM and DCM) had arranged to meet the Sarsanghchalak ( RSS Chief) as we wanted to seek his blessings for the future. He told us to do good work, be honest and work together. Along with that, Hindutva has always been our agenda."

Chief Minister Eknath Shide, who also spoke to the media, added, "I and DCM were at BKC for the MIDC programme, we arrived here together from there. We met RSS Chief after taking charge as CM and DCM. We had no specific reason for the meeting. We have also met him in past, our government is formed on the ideology of Hindutva and we took his blessings for the same. We are taking forward the ideology of Balasaheb Thackeray."
