Mumbai, Oct 22 (PTI) Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut Monday met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in Lucknow ahead of the proposed visit of party president Uddhav Thackeray to Ayodhya.

Thackeray had announced in his party's Vijayadashmi rally in Mumbai last week that he would visit Ayodhya on November 25 and "question" Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the temple construction issue.

Raut tweeted his photo with the UP CM and said the latter has welcomed Thackeray's visit to the temple town.

The Sena, a ruling constituent in the BJP-led governments in Maharashtra and Centre, had accused the BJP of delaying construction of a Ram temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya.
