Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis were seen sharing the dais at a public function in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday, even as Thackeray made some 'loaded' statements at the event. His words indicated the discomfort and resentment over the pre-poll alliance negotiations loud and clear.

Apart from snubbing the BJP over vendetta politics, the Sena president spoke tacitly about the unfulfilled promise of seat-sharing and also about the cornering by the ally. Thackeray said he did not believe in the politics of vendetta, hinting at the ED notice to NCP chief Sharad Pawar in the alleged MSC Bank loan scam.
