In a vitriolic attack on the BJP, Shiv Sena on Monday charged that the senior ally's politics was based on 'spreading falsehood and rumours' and that from Delhi to Maharashtra it was trying to stifle the voice of those who speak the truth.

Also, in a sharp retort to a local BJP leader's reported warning of burning copies of its mouthpiece 'Saamana', Sena said doing such a thing would be like setting ablaze the RSS's ideology and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's basic ideals.
