Across India, followers of Bal Thackeray regarded him as “Hindu Hriday Samrat (King of Hindu's Heart)". Even during Ram Mandir movement in 90’s, Bal Thackeray was one of prominent faces of "Hindutva". In fact, due to Bal Thackeray’s inclination towards Hindu ideology his party Shiv Sena could establish units in Gujrat, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala and or states. Uddhav always portrays himself as one of soldiers of Bal Thackeray and remains grounded.
