Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday termed the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government as a "three-wheel auto-rickshaw" and accused it of failing on all fronts. Speaking after inaugurating a private medical college at Kankavli in Sindhudurg district, Shah said all wheels of this auto-rickshaw were moving in different directions.

"This is a unholy alliance made by betraying the people's mandate which was for a BJP-Shiv Sena government led by Devendra Fadnavis," he said. Hitting out at Thackeray, Shah said the Sena president addressed rallies with him and Prime Minister Narendra Modi before the Maharashtra Assembly elections.

In the posters of Shiv Sena candidates, PM Modi's pictures were bigger than Thackeray's, he said. "We sought votes for the BJP-Sena led by Fadnavis, why didn't you speak out that time? You just took votes in the name of Modiji," Shah said.
