"The BJP must clarify who is authorised in Maharashtra to take decisions? Is it (Nitin) Gadkari who goes around talking to the media, or Gopinath Munde? At present, it seems to be treading the path of Kejriwal, who after damning the Congress, formed a government with its support in Delhi," Uddhav said.

Citing another example of former prime minister Chandrashekhar who took Rajiv Gandhi's support to form the government, Uddhav asked whether the BJP would follow suit and take Congress support -- "if that happens, then what is the difference between us and them?"

"We (Shiv Sena) took care of them (BJP) in all crises, but now it seems that they feel they are a notch above us ... I will talk to Rajnath Singh and also ask Rudy who actually runs the party in the state ..." Uddhav added.
