PM Modi didn’t tell truth, says Eknath Khadse

Former party leader says decision to break up with Sena was taken by BJP as it was too confident of doing well in Maharashtra without local ally

Former BJP leader Eknath Khadse has refuted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s claim that the Shiv Sena broke the alliance, and not the national party, ahead of the Assembly polls in 2014. Khadse said in Mumbai on Wednesday that it was the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that severed ties with the Sena because the party leaders —the high command and state leadership—strongly felt the BJP was in a position to form the government on its own.
