The Labour chief said Mr Cameron “will say anything and stop at nothing” to stay in Downing Street after May 7.
“David Cameron is setting one part of the United Kingdom against another,” Mr Miliband raged.
“He is seeking to divide our country, and that is dangerous. He is talking up the SNP’s chances, not taking them on, and that is dangerous.”
With SNP support surging in Scotland, the Tories have pledged to use their “big hitters” to create a “sense of crisis” about a possible Labour/SNP alliance.
And ex-PM Sir John Major has been wheeled out to offer doom-laden warnings.
He claimed the “Scot Nats” were “deeply socialist” and posed “a real danger.”
And he said Labour “would be in hock to a party that will push them ever further to the Left”.
But other Tory grandees have slammed the viciously negative campaign.
Lord Tebbitt said: “I think it’s a huge scare tactic against Labour. Whether a seat is occupied by Labour or SNP, perhaps it’s not a great difference.
"It seems pointless to just irritate Scots by shouting at them from Westminster.”
While former Tory Scottish secretary Michael Forsyth, has said the PM’s tactics are “short-term
and dangerous”.
Speaking in Manchester Mr Miliband warned the PM was driving a wedge between England and Scotland.
He urged Tories to ”tell the Prime Minister to stop because he is demeaning his office, he is demeaning himself, and it is threatening the integrity of the United Kingdom.”
Meanwhile the former Labour Chancellor Alistair Darling rubbished suggestions of a pact with the SNP, insisting: “It just isn’t going to happen.
"The reason is that the nationalists have no interest in maintaining a strong British Government.”
Mr Darling added: “This Tory tactic of bigging up the SNP is because they are failing to make progress on anything they’ve got to say.”
