BJP hits back at Uddhav, says it doesn't need 'certificate' from Shiv Sena

Recent articles published in Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamna have criticised the government over demonetisation and various other issues.

Hitting back at the Shiv Sena for their constant criticism of the demonetisation and the Central government, the Bharatiya Janata Party has said it has people's mandate and does not need the Shiv Sena's 'certificate' to run the affairs.

BJP leader Shaina NC told news agency ANI that the Shiv Sena 'only screams and writes editorials'. She said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis have the mandate of the people.

Shaina's reaction came in response to the recent articles published in Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamna criticising the Union Government and its chief Uddhav Thackeray's remark that no affluent person died because of 'notebandi'.

"It doesn't matter to me how many inches wide his chest is, but he should have a heart inside his chest," Thackeray had reportedly told a channel during an interview.

Shiv Sena, which is an ally of the BJP at the Centre and in Maharashtra, had severed ties with the saffron party ahead of the civic polls.

The Shiv Sena leadership had also threatened to walk out of the Devendra Fadnavis-led government.

The Congress, on the other hand, has dubbed the animosity between the two parties as 'farce' and said that Shiv Sena is unlikely to walk out of the BJP-led state government.
