The Shiv Sena said on Monday that the situation in Jammu and Kashmir has worsened under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's watch and claimed the BJP-led government at the Centre frittered away the massive 2014 poll mandate.

During the speech in Pandharpur, Thackeray said that the Shiv Sena will not take part in any trading over seat allocation.
"There have been several allegations over the Rafale fighter jet deal and I do not know how the Supreme Court has given a clean chit. But I know the Modi government has refused pay hike for jawans," the Sena chief said.
The event which was organised at the 'Bade Bhakt Mal ki Baghia', around 300 kilometres from the Ram Janmbhoomi Nyas workshop saw over three lakh people in attendance.
