Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray on Monday compared Shiv Sena to a dog after the latter party claimed that the 'Bharat Bandh' failed in the state. The Congress along with other Opposition parties called a nationwide strike across the country today on account of rising fuel prices and depreciating value of the Indian Rupee against US dollar.

Reacting on Shiv Sena's statement that 'Bharat Bandh' was a failure, the MNS chief said, "There is a breed of dog which doesn't know which way to look at. Same is Shiv Sena's situation. When their money gets stuck, they talk of stepping out of the alliance, when their work is done, they go silent."
