Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray said today that the government led by Narendra Modi came to power in 2014 by spreading "lies", in yet another tirade against the BJP government at the Centre.
Addressing Sena workers at the 52nd foundation day of the party in suburban Goregaon, Thackeray said the BJP spread "lies" ahead of the 2014 general elections and made false promises to people to win the mandate.
Shiv Sena runs the government in Maharashtra in alliance with the BJP, but their ties have remain fraught. They recently fought bypolls in Maharashtra separately.
Thackeray mocked Modi's frequent foreign visits, saying: "Now, Modi will start his tours to other planets."
On the BJP's decision to part ways with alliance partner PDP in Jammu and Kashmir, Thackeray said: "Did it take three years and sacrifice of 600 soldiers for you to realise that this (Jammu and Kashmir) government is useless?"
