Mumbai: BJP today came under fresh attack from its ally Shiv Sena, which slammed it for creating a "trust deficit" by hobnobbing with Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena in the run-up to the polls and asked it to mend its ways and follow "alliance dharma".

In a hard-hitting editorial in mouthpiece 'Saamana', party president Uddhav Thackeray asked BJP to adhere to the "dharma" of the alliance and cited example of Bal Thackeray "who had rejected the offer of BJP rebel Shakarsinh Waghela in 1996 to form government of Shiv Sena in Gujarat".
