Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan’s criticism of Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray has not gone down well with the saffron party which on Monday slammed the Congress leader.

After the two leaders participated in an event organised by a TV channel in Mumbai on Saturday, Mr. Chavan had said that Mr. Uddhav lacked the experience to run government as he wasn’t part of the Sena-BJP government which came to power in 1995.

“Mr. Chavan says Uddhav didn’t have any experience. What experience did he have when he became Chief Minister? ,” an editorial in Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamana said.

What experience certificate Rajiv Gandhi had when he landed from the plane cockpit onto the prime ministerial chair, it said. “Chavan warmed the chief ministerial chair and it did not benefit Maharashtra,” it added.
