Mumbai: Launching a scathing attack on its former ally, Shiv Sena today dubbed those who broke the 25-year-old alliance as "enemies of Maharashtra." "Our other (Mahayuti) alliance parties wanted the Sena-BJP combine to continue.

More than that, it was what the 11 crore people of Maharashtra wanted. Those who trampled these sentiments are enemies of Maharashtra," Sena said. "This (breaking of alliance) is an insult to the 105 Marathi martyrs of the Samyukta Maharashtra movement," an editorial in Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana' said here.
