Centre organizing events to divert public attention
Calling the Centre's demonetization drive a failure, Thackeray said the government's claims of assault on black money were misleading as 99% of the scrapped notes have returned to banks. He said Centre is good at organizing different events to divert public attention. He added: "First it was Yoga, then Swatch Bharat Abhiyaan, and now football. Now they will come up with another concept."

Modi showed no results: Raj Thackeray
Thackeray remarked: "I thought he (Modi) would steer India to progress but in the last three-and-half (years), he showed no results. What is difference between the Congress and BJP government except for the fact that this government has just changed the color of the currency?"
