										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As not all seems well between the Shiv Sena and the Congress in the three-party Maha Vikas Aghadi government of Maharashtra, a Shiv Sena MLA has written a letter to chief minister Uddhav Thackeray offering a suggestion.</p>
<p>&#8220;I believe it will be better if you get closer to PM Modi&#8230;if we come together once again, it will be beneficial to the party and workers,&#8221; Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik has written. news agency ANI reported. In his letter, he mentioned that Congress and the NCP are trying to weaken the coalition and there seems to be veiled support from the Centre, as no central agency is behind any NCP leader, he said.</p>
<p>Sarnaik has recently been accused in a money laundering case. &#8220;Central agencies are targeting us for no fault of our, if you come close to PM Modi, sufferings of leaders like Ravindra Waikar, Anil Parab, Pratap Sarnaik and their families will end,&#8221; he wrote.&#8217;</p>
<p>Shiv Sena in its mouthpiece Saamana slammed Congress&#8217; &#8220;overconfidence&#8221; and said there is no point in saying such things when one does not have the majority figure on its side. It also said Sena will continue the alliance with NCP if Congress wants to go alone. Chief minister Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday said people would beat with footwear those who only talk about contesting elections alone without offering solutions to people&#8217;s problems. He, however, did not take any party&#8217;s name, as he was addressing on the occasion of Shiv Sena&#8217;s 55th foundation day.</p>
