Uddhav's sharp attack on Modi

October 15, 2014 09:07

In his most scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former ally BJP, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray has questioned: "If a chaiwala (tea-seller) can become prime minister, why can't I become Maharashtra chief minister?"

In an interview to his party's mouthpiece Saamna, published today, on a day Maharashtra goes to polls, Thackeray attacked the PM without naming him.

Modi's campaign for the country's top post was built around his modest beginnings as a young boy who sold tea on trains.
