Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Sunday reached Ayodhya on a day-long visit to pay obeisance to Lord Ram at the Ram temple. Thousands of his supporters called 'Shiv Sainiks' accompanied him. "I am going to Ayodhya for darshan of Lord Ram. We have blessings of Lord Ram that is why 'dhanush-baan' (bow-arrow, elections symbol of Shiv Sena) is with us," Mr Shinde told reporters in Lucknow before leaving for Ayodhya.
