Maharashtra Chief minister Prithviraj Chavan's criticism of Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray has not gone down well with the saffron party, which today blasted the Congress leader.

After the two leaders participated in an event organised by a TV channel here on Saturday, Chavan had said that Uddhav lacked the experience to run a government as he wasn't part of the Sena-BJP government which came to power in 1995.

"Chavan says Uddhav didn't have any experience. What experience did he have when he became chief minister ? Because he is finding it tough to get a safe constituency to contest the poll, his mental condition has become unstable like that of a patient in ICU," an editorial in Sena mouthpiece Saamana said here.

The editorial also questioned the experience of Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and his father Rajiv Gandhi.

"Chavan warmed the chief ministerial chair and it did not benefit Maharashtra," it added.
