Uddhav Thackeray on Friday took the rift between his Shiv Sena and ally BJP to the national level. Escalating his attack, Uddhav not only labelled a section of BJP leaders "liars" but even went to the extent of saying the BJP shouldn't take sole credit for the outcome of the Ayodhya verdict.

However, playing the game intelligently, Thackeray kept the lines open for negotiation, but made it clear, it will have to be done by the central BJP leadership — PM Narendra Modi or party president Amit Shah — and the RSS channel.
