As Narendra Modi completes two years in power, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ally Shiv Sena has yet again trained its guns at the Prime Minister.
In its mouthpiece Saamana, the Sena hit out at Modi's foreign tours. It said that Prime Minister will have to decide whether he is a resident of India or a Non Resident Indian (NRI).
While BJP is celebrating its success in Assam, the Sena claimed that the party failed to do well in four other states. "BJP was only able to win Assam but failed to secure a major chunk of seats in other states despite BJP President Amit Shah's big push," the editorial said.
Sena also alleged that when Modi came to power, several schemes were announced but they are yet to reach the common man.
It said that the Centre, in the past two years, has taken no significant action to tackle black money. "Modi said he will bring back the black money and deposit it in the bank accounts of the citizens. But this has not happened even in two years and farmers have been committing suicide," Sena said.
This is not the first time the Sena has attacked the BJP. After the BJP's victory in Assam assembly elections, Sena leader Sanjay Raut had said, "Achche din for BJP in Assam but regional parties are strong. They will only get stronger. BJP couldn't fight these regional parties in other three states despite Modi wave. It's a threat to BJP."
