Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticised the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) on Friday, calling it as “fake”, and accused the party of campaigning with a convict from the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts case for the sake of votes.

On Thursday, the BJP alleged that Iqbal Moosa alias Baba Chauhan, a convict of the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts who served ten years in jail, was observed campaigning for MVA northwest candidate Amol Kirtikar on Wednesday.

The Prime Minister made the comment while addressing a public gathering in Maharashtra’s Nandurbar.

“On one side there is Congress which says ‘Modi teri kabr khudegi’ and on the other side, there is this fake Shiv Sena that talks about burying me alive. Even while abusing me, they take full care of appeasement. Will you abuse me the way your ‘vote bank’ likes?,” PM Modi said.
