Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray at loggerheads with Modi over the country’s progress and SC verdict against President’s rule

Mumbai July 25: In the second part of his interview in the party’s mouthpiece, ‘Saamna’,Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray has been critical of the relationship between BJP Modi government leadership say “the communication with Delhi has broken”.He hit out at Modi over a string of issues from rushing in to impose President’s rule in Congress-ruled Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh to the Centre’s failure in controlling inflation to the schemes that the government has implemented like Make in India,Skill India.

The Sena chief, who will turn 56 on Wednesday, said that toppling state government are not the way towards Congress Mukt Bharat. In the issue of taking back Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir (PoK),they should have shown more tact and vigour.

In July, the Sena was equally quick in slamming the Modi-led government in a stinging editorial in Saamna that likened the Supreme Court verdict to a ‘slap on the Centre’s cheek and a blow on its nose’ after the top court struck down its decision to impose President’s rule in Arunachal Pradesh.and when the SC had upturned the President’s rule imposed in Uttarakhand.

The Sena had, then, warned that the country would “head to anarchy if such things continue”.

“No leader in the country who will walk the talk”, Thackeray said on a question about Modi’s speech promising to ‘teach Pakistan a lesson’ after coming to power. Termingthe situation in Kashmir as foggy. Thackeray demanded that India should be proclaimed a ‘Hindu state’ wondering how long attacks on the security forces will go on in Kashmir.

He kept up his attack on Monday as he questioned the outcome of Modi government’s pet schemes and flagship missions.

“Be it Make in India, Start Up India, Skill India, all have been kicked off with great fanfare. But, when will they be implemented? What are their timelines? Will educated youths get jobs through this? How many will benefit from Start Up India?” he asked.

In a seemingly sarcastic tone, Thackeray also said he was still hopeful of Modi’s leadership.

“Modi will fix everything,” he said.
Equally condemning was MNS chief Raj Thackeray on Monday to  the BJP-led state government over the gangrape and murder of a minor girl that there was a need for a law like Sharia (Islamic) to check serious crimes against women and children.
