BJP Busy In Politics, While Citizens Die Of Poverty And Hunger: Shiv Sena

The Shiv Sena on Monday criticised the Narendra Modi government for playing dirty politics while paying no heed to the problems faced by common people.

In its mouthpiece ‘Saamana’, Shiva Sena urged the people to come out of the “delusion” that this government would do something for the poor, The Indian Express reported.

The article stated, “The British rule was considered as God’s blessings by some people then and they also welcomed it. Similarly, many felt the Modi government at the Centre and the (Devendra) Fadnavis government in the state as God’s blessings.”

“In reality, the situation is very serious in Maharashtra and there is anarchy of hunger and power. Since living has become difficult, common people are ending their lives along with family members,” the Sena added.

Shiv Sena also raised the issue of increasing number of suicides due to poverty and hunger. “So far, we were fighting for suicides by farmers in the Vidarbha region… but the number of suicides due to poverty and starvation are increasing in Mumbai and the rest of Maharashtra. Is this your acche din? Those ruling the government are busy with politics while citizens have been left to die… It is time to come out of the delusion that Modi will do something for the poor,” the party said.

Opposing Modi’s ambitious projects like “the bullet train, Metro, and hyper city”, Sena asserted that they “are not going to stop suicides, they should be junked.”
