Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday assured the Assembly that the existing OBC quota will remain intact and attempts to create a social divide by spreading speculations on inclusion of Marathas in the OBC category won''t be tolerated.
Stating that the Shiv Sena has not given up Hindutva, Thackeray, who heads that party, said the state government will take up restoration and preservation of ancient temples, with an aim to "promote ancient culture and traditions".
Thackeray said the project would be undertaken in a phased manner and sought the cooperation of the Opposition in identifying the temples for preservation.
