| BJP's ally till last month, the Shiv Sena has advised Prime Minister Narendra Modi to "indulge in Maharashtra politics later" and focus his attention on the escalating cross-border attacks by Pakistan.
"Are we going to give Pakistan a befitting reply or just count the bodies of our soldiers? You can indulge in Maharashtra politics later on as well PM Modi, right now it is important to focus on what's happening at the border," the Sena said in this morning's edition of its mouthpiece, the Saamna.
The editorial also said, "Whether a 56-inch chest can save the country or not is debatable," seeming to borrow from the Opposition's criticism of the Prime Minister.
Congress spokesperson Shakeel Ahmed had commented yesterday that the repeated cross-border attacks in Kashmir proved that the Prime Minister's "56-inch chest has been reduced to just 5.6 inches."
"It is unfortunate that civilians are being killed. But our Prime Minister is neither tweeting about it nor mentioning it in his election speeches now. Why is he silent?" Mr Ahmed had asked.
In the campaign for the national election, which he swept, the PM had said leaders with 56-inch chests are needed to guide India.
Mr Modi's blitz of election rallies in Maharashtra in the last four days has drawn much comment.
