"Uddhav Thackeray keeps repeating the same thing. Issues related to development and farmers were absent in his speech. The way they keep targeting PM Modi, his popularity increases," Devendra Fadnavis told reporters.
Hitting out at the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday said the way Prime Minister Narendra Modi was being targeted, his popularity was increasing.
"Uddhav Thackeray keeps repeating the same thing. Issues related to development and farmers were absent in his speech. The way they keep targeting PM Modi, his popularity increases," Devendra Fadnavis told reporters.
Meanwhile, with the Uddhav Thackeray faction's plea, challenging last year's change of guard in Maharashtra, pending arbitration in the Supreme Court, the former Maharashtra chief minister on Sunday said elections can happen any time and they were "prepared".
Addressing a public meeting in Jalgaon on Sunday, Uddhav Thackeray, who now heads the Shiv Sena (UBT), said, "Elections [in Maharashtra] can happen at any time and we are prepared. The matter is in Supreme Court and we are hopeful that the eventual verdict will be in our favour. After that, anything can happen any time."
