Launching a fresh attack on prime minister Narendra Modi, the Shiv Sena on Tuesday said he is leaving his work in Delhi to hold rallies in Maharashtra and questioned the work done by him for the state after becoming the prime minister.
The Sena also told its estranged ally BJP that frequent visits of the Prime Minister for the campaign was denting the state’s coffers.
‘The Prime Minister is busy addressing rallies in Maharashtra leaving his work in Delhi. Modi is a tall
leader of the BJP but he has been forced to campaign in the state since the BJP has no known faces in Maharashtra,’ the Sena said in its editorial mouthpiece Saamana.
If Modi was a ‘superstar campaigner’ as projected by the BJP, he would have appealed to people of the state to vote for his party while sitting in New Delhi, it said.
‘If Modi had a mass appeal as projected by the BJP, he (Modi) instead of conducting 25-30
campaigns in different parts of Maharashtra, would have sat in Delhi and appealed for votes and people would have definitely listened to him,’ the Sena organ said.
