An angry BJP today took strong exception to Shiv Sena President Uddhav Thackeray's criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the poll rout in Delhi and dared its saffron partner to first quit the alliance and then attack its leaders.

"Instead of concentrating on what is happening in Delhi, Uddhavji should first concentrate on what is happening in Mumbai and Maharashtra. This election (in Delhi) was not a general election, but a state election. Thus, the question of bringing in Narendra Modi's name does not even arise," Mumbai BJP Chief Ashish Shelar said.
