"It was not 'outsiders' but Maharashtrians themselves who stabbed us in the back," the October 24 editorial had said.
It is no secret in media circles that the editorial comment that goes in the name of 83-year old Thackeray, who is keeping frail health, is penned by Sanjay Raut, executive editor of the newspaper.
"I cannot say such a thing. Have we written anything like that," Thackeray said, addressing a meeting of party legislators at the Sena Bhavan in Mumbai on Thursday night.
He then turned to Raut, and asked him, "Sanjay, did you write that Marathi manoos stabbed us in the back?" Raut said what was written was that "Marathi voters turned their back on Sena".
This is not the first time that the issue of who writes these editorials - Thackeray is the newspaper's editor - has been raised.
