News, Nation

Mumbai: Taking a dig at BJP leaders who called Prime Minister Narendra Modi 'God's gift to India', ally Shiv Sena today said citizens were god but the government had turned them into beggars after demonetisation.

Many people termed British rule "divine dispensation' during the colonial era, the Sena recalled in an editorial in its mouthpiece Saamana. But the British rule was not god's gift as it only looted the people, it said.
