The state BJP says it's having the last laugh as four parties in Maharashtra's five-cornered poll contest are targeting PM Narendra Modi.
BJP said the PM's campaigning across the state and seeming groundswell of support turned even former ally Shiv Sena's focus to taking on Modi. Sena and MNS have been at the forefront in slamming BJP. MNS's Raj Thackeray, say observers, seldom misses an opportunity to lambast the PM and Gujarat CM Anandiben Patel on the Marathi-Gujarati issue.
Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray asked candidates to campaign for a united Maharashtra. "We want people to know who snapped the alliance.Criticizing BJP is obvious as the party hasn't made clear its stand on a separate Vidarbha," said a Sena campaigner in Kolhapur district.
