Later speaking to reporters, Shinde said, “I have come here for the winter session of the Maharashtra Legislature and I have come here to pay homage.” There is no politics behind this. Responding to a question, Shinde said, “It is true that I used to go to the RSS shakha in my childhood. This place is a source of inspiration. I have come here to bow my head. In response to another question, he said, “Shiv Sena and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are together, what other message can be given.”
Shinde, who heads the Balasahebchi Shiv Sena, and BJP leader Fadnavis also visited Deekshabhoomi, where Dr BR Ambedkar converted to Buddhism in 1956 along with his followers.
