MUMBAI: Taking a dig at social activist Anna Hazare for threatening a hunger strike against the Maharashtra government's decision permitting sale of wine in supermarkets and grocery shops, the Shiv Sena on Tuesday said Anna was speaking the language of the BJP and that the air had fizzled out of his andolans.
The Sena in an editorial in its mouthpiece Saamna said that During the Congress rule in Delhi and Maharashtra, Anna used to go on hunger strikes and agitations. "But now Anna Hazare speaks the language of BJP. Anna's failure is that the air in every andolan of Anna has fizzled out and no one takes him seriously since the Modi-Shah government came to power. Those who blew the trumpet against corruption at Ramlila Maidan and Jantar Mantar are now seated in power in Delhi," the editorial said.
