Mumbai: Shiv Sena's attack on BJP shows that the party founded by late Bal Thackeray has "lost the battle" ahead of the October 15 Maharashtra Assembly elections, senior BJP leader Rajiv Pratap Rudy said here today. "They (Sena) have lost track and are talking only about BJP," Rudy, BJP's Maharashtra affairs in-charge, told PTI in an interview.

"If they (Sena) are contesting to win the elections, then they should be contesting against Congress and NCP. But if they are talking about BJP, it possibly shows that they have lost the battle," Rudy said. "They are cribbing partners. We are absolutely not talking about them as a matter of policy.
