Sena stooped to new low in poll campaign by attacking Modi: BJP

October 16, 2014 20:19

BJP today hit back at Shiv Sena for "stooping to a new low" by launching a personal attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in its Hindi mouthpiece ahead of the Assembly elections, saying its former ally should have desisted from making 'disparaging' remarks against him.

"It is sheer disappointment that Sena has stooped to a new low. What kind of politics is this, where you insult his (Modi's) father? We are very hurt," senior BJP leader Eknath Khadse told reporters.

An article by 'Dopahar ka Saamna' editor Prem Shukla on October 14 had poured vitriol on Modi, accusing that he and his party had forgotten Sena's contribution to their landslide victory in the Lok Sabha elections though Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray later distanced himself from the article.
