The BJP leader also used the occasion to take a swipe at the Congress, accusing the party of being embroiled in internal disputes.
Referring to allegations of factionalism levelled against the BJP by Congress leaders, Vinod Kumar said those making such claims should first examine the situation within their own party.
"People living in glass houses should not throw stones at others. Congress leaders themselves are levelling allegations against their Chief Minister, which has exposed the party's internal discord," he said.
Asserting that the BJP remains united, Vinod Kumar said, "The BJP was one, is one and will remain one. The real factionalism exists within the Congress party."
The event witnessed the participation of several BJP functionaries and workers who joined the prayers and havan conducted at the temple premises. (ANI)
