Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray on Friday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his comments that Uddhav faction of the Shiv Sena is the "duplicate Sena" and called him the "fake son" of Bal Thackeray. Thackeray asserted Maharashtra would not tolerate such insults. "Modi used to attack then prime minister Manmohan Singh for not talking about inflation but he himself now speaks only about "gai" (cow) and not "mehangai" (price rise)," Thackeray said addressing a rally in Aurangabad. 

"Modi took my signature (for nominations) in 2014 and 2019 but he now calls me fake son of Balasaheb Thackeray and my party as nakli Shiv Sena. In Maharashtra we have a culture of respecting each other and the state's people will not tolerate such insults," Thackeray claimed. Raising the issue of MSP, Uddhav said, "Onion farmers in Maharashtra have faced losses of Rs 1,100 crore and now the Modi government says it will give MSP, so what was the ruling dispensation doing for the last 10 years"
