BJP can't cheat people now after promising 'Acche Din': Sena

July 23, 2015 11:58

Shiv Sena President Uddhav Thackeray today took a dig at its ally and said that ground realities have remained unchanged despite BJP coming to power at the Centre, promising 'Acche Din'.

"Even 50 years are not enough to clean up the mess created by the erstwhile government. But a lot has to be done in the next five years to fulfill the aspirations of people. You (the BJP) had promised 'Acche Din' to people and thus cannot cheat them now," Thackeray said in an interview in party mouthpiece 'Saamana'.

To a question, Thackeray said that even though the governments have changed at the Centre and in the state, nothing much has changed on "ground".
