In a veiled attack on the Chief Minister, an editorial in the Sena mouthpiece said: "What has changed with the new government ? If someone knows please tell us."
The Sena ridiculed the state government over failure to arrest the killers of the anti-toll tax campaigner, who died on Friday after being shot at in Kolhapur.
"This is a repeat of rationalist Narendra Dabholkar's murder," the Sena said.
"Fadnavis said if police put in all their might they may catch the killers," the Sena said, adding the remarks tantamount to distrust of police.
The latest remarks indicate the unease in the BJP-Sena alliance. After BJP snapped the 25-year alliance ahead of October 15 Assembly polls, Sena joined the government on December 5 as BJP with 122 MLAs did not have a clear majority in the 288-member House.
