MNS Chief Raj Thackeray on Friday&nbsp;targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of&nbsp;"betraying the trust" and dared the Shiv Sena to quit the&nbsp;BJP-led government which, he claimed, wasn't giving due credit&nbsp;to the Uddhav Thackeray-led party.&nbsp;
"Which PM undertook so many foreign trips? Where are the&nbsp;'achche din'," Raj asked at a 'Gudhi Padwa' rally of his party&nbsp;at Shivaji Park here tonight.

"You promised to bring back black money. Where is it?&nbsp;Mallya took crores (of rupees) from here and fled from the&nbsp;country," he said.&nbsp;
Jewellers are now saying 'Ek Hi Bhool, Kamal Ka Phool'&nbsp;(the only mistake is voting BJP to power), Raj said.
Before becoming the Prime Minister, Modi opposed the&nbsp;norms for jewellers, but is implementing the same after&nbsp;becoming the PM, he said.
"Earlier, I had said that Modi was the last hope, but&nbsp;now, after seeing that he has betrayed the trust, I have&nbsp;started speaking against him," he said.&nbsp;
Modi has changed after becoming the PM, he said, adding,&nbsp;"You promised miracles, saying you will do this in 100 days of&nbsp;coming to power. Where are those miracles?"
"Now you are taking help of RSS on issues like&nbsp;nationalism. Will the RSS distribute certificates of&nbsp;nationalism," he asked.&nbsp;
Referring to the 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' slogan row, he&nbsp;said, "They say Ram temple issue is (pending) before the&nbsp;court. The court gave clean chit to Amit Shah, but why no&nbsp;solution on Ram temple issue."
Slamming the Owaisi brothers (Asaduddin and Akbaruddin),&nbsp;Raj alleged, "They are financed by BJP."
"Come to Maharashtra, I will put a knife to your throat,"&nbsp;he challenged Asaduddin Owaisi on his remark that he would not&nbsp;chant 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' even if a knife is put to his&nbsp;throat.

Taking on Shiv Sena, Raj said, "Why is Sena remaining in&nbsp;power despite the BJP not giving them due credit? What&nbsp;happened to Shiv Sena's agitation on Jaitapur nuclear&nbsp;plant?... The Sena is afraid of MNS despite being in power."&nbsp;
Mimicking Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis,&nbsp;Raj said his insistence on raising 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' slogan&nbsp;is "misplaced". "Nobody is going to remove you," he said,&nbsp;referring to Fadnavis' remarks that he is ready to quit as CM,&nbsp;but won't stop saying the slogan.
"He is like a class monitor," Raj said.&nbsp;
The MNS chief also read out the message by a farmer&nbsp;written before he committed suicide. The farmer said the&nbsp;government was neglecting farmers and youth of Marathwada,"&nbsp;Raj said, adding, "What is the difference between you and the&nbsp;Congress government?"
