Even as Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray accompanied Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the ‘jal pujan’ ceremony of the Chhatrapati Shivaji memorial in Mumbai on Saturday, the Sena appeared unhappy with its ally BJP, alleging that it has ‘hijacked’ the occasion for political benefit.

While the party seemed to sulk at having the rug slipped from under its feet, it also took a swipe at the BJP over the Ram temple issue, stating that it should admit failure, as it has not been able to build the promised temple in Ayodhya even after getting a huge majority in the Lok Sabha.
