'Itna sannata kyu hai bhai': Sena jabs BJP on slowdown

Amid haggling over the formation of government in Maharashtra, the Shiv Sena on Monday took a jab at the BJP-led government at the Centre. Invoking the famed 'Sholay' dialogue, ‘itna sannata kyun hai bhai’, the Sena made a resounding critique on the economic slump which it said ‘is evident in the subdued Diwali celebrations’. The Sena launched a fresh missive at the BJP over demonetisation, Goods & Services Tax and the overall slow-down. The Sena said in party mouthpieces 'Saamana' and 'Dopahar Ka Saamana', that peoples' pockets have been ‘anyway empty’, but now even the government coffers are being drained out.
