Be ready to face questions over 2014 poll promises: Shiv Sena
Mumbai, Mar 12 (UNI) After a brief lull, post announcement of its alliance with BJP, the Shiv Sena is back on its old line, targeting its ally on the issues, over which the party had been criticising the government for the past four-and-a-half years.
An editorial in party mouthpiece Saamana on Tuesday said that BJP should now be prepared to face questions from people over its 2014 poll promises of peace in Kashmir Valley and construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya.
While on Monday, the editorial had targeted it's ally for exploiting the courage and bravery of armed forces for electoral gains.
History says people cannot be fooled for long. Even people have questions, the answers to which they seek through ballot boxes, the Saamana editorial said on Tuesday, while referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's radio programme 'Mann Ki Baat'.
On May 23, people's mann ki baat" will be out, it added.
Apart from old issues of Kashmir and Temple, which have remained unresolved, people also have doubts over the use of electronic voting machines (EVMs) in polls, the editorial said and asked, 'Why the insistence over EVMs, when all other countries have stopped using them due to their faulty nature and the fact that these machines could be controlled with money power?'
While referring to the Election Commission's gag on using the pictures of armed forces or action during campaign, the editorial said it is unfortunate that the Commission had to say this.
