I’ve never seen a liar like PM Narendra Modi: Raj Thackeray

KOLHAPUR

: Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray on Tuesday lambasted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah for seeking votes in the name of jawans killed in Pulwama attack.


Describing the Modi-Shah duo as blot on the nation, Thackeray asked the voters to destroy them.

Addressing a public meeting in Ichalkaranji, he came down heavily on Modi and Shah describing them as liars, shameless and power hungry. To assert his point, Thackeray also played video clips of Modi and Shah’s speeches.

“Modi was desperate for some election issue which he got because of Pulwama attack. Why Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan wants Narendra Modi as India’s Prime Minister? What is this adjustment?” MNS founder asked, adding that Modi never considered sentiments of families of jawans, who were killed in Pakistan attack while offering birthday cake to Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

“I have never seen a lair like Modi. He is seeking votes in the name of martyrs but not ready to say anything about the promises he had made in 2014,” Thackeray said, adding that Modi was not speaking about his projects like Make in India, Startup, Namami Gange and Swachh Bharat.

Accusing the Modi-Shah duo of destroying democratic structure of the country, Thackeray said institutions like judiciary and RBI were systematically cut down by them.

“Supreme court judges addressed a press conference because they were under pressure in case of justice Loya’s death. RBI governors resigned because of political pressure,” he said.

Thackeray also criticized Modi for demonetization saying that decision was taken at the whims of an individual. “Nobody was aware of this decision. Neither finance minister nor cabinet. The RBI was also kept in dark,” he said.

Thackeray also described Modi as coward as he has not addressed a single press conference in five years. “He is scared of facing questions from the media,” he said.
