After the resignation of BJP's Devendra Fadnavis as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamana on Wednesday took a jibe at the BJP and the former CM of the State.

Saamana goes on to slam the BJP government and said that if they would have agreed to the terms set by Sena, their government wouldn't have to face this doomsday. It further added that Sena showed the number of 162 MLAs but the BJP tried to make a false claim of having the majority. No government in Maharashtra ever had to face such an insult, they added.
