    What's the story

    The Shiv Sena today slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying those who failed to get "achhe din" are now feeling disgusted at the thought of sitting in the Opposition.

    The attack comes following Modi's remark on Opposition on Monday that power is like "oxygen" for "some people", with restlessness setting in if they are out of it for even two or five years.

    Snooping

    Government's decision to snoop is a sign of 'restlessness': Sena

    Sena said that the government's move to snoop on computers and mobile phones was not a sign of a real democracy but its "restlessness" to stay in power.

    The government had last week authorized 10 central agencies to intercept, monitor and decrypt all data contained in any computer system.

    The Opposition accusing the government of trying to create a "surveillance state".

    Slamming BJP

    'Sending somebody in exile forcefully is (current) politics for power'

    In an editorial in party mouthpiece Saamna, the Sena said Lord Rama in Ayodhya and BJP veteran Lal Krishna Advani in politics are in exile today while others are reaping fruits of the "oxygen of power".

    "Sending somebody in exile forcefully is the (current) politics for power," said the party, which is an ally of the BJP at the Center and in Maharashtra.

    Notes

    Despite being in power, BJP fears Opposition: Shiv Sena

    Further slamming BJP, it said those who couldn't bring 'achhe din' (good days) despite being in power now fear the Opposition.

    They get a feeling of disgust if they have to sit in the Opposition.

    "Modiji said (former prime minister) Vajpayee spent most of his life in the Opposition, yet remained contended. But some people are exactly the opposite, according to Modiji," it said.

    Attack

    In the end, power is irresistible, Shiv Sena remarks

    "The question that now arises is who are these people?" asked the Marathi daily.

    "In order to ensure the oxygen supply of power, hooligans and thieves are purified," the Uddhav Thackeray-led party said.

    "To win polls, criminals are made 'valmiki' (referring to the sage who wrote the epic Ramayan). In the end, power is irresistible," the Sena said.

    Comments

    Shiv Sena talks of alliance with BJP

    In a scathing attack on BJP, it said that for power, alliance with Sena, based on Hindutva principle, was also broken in 2014, and the "cylinder of the oxygen of Hindutva" was stolen.

    "Now when it's time for people to plug out the supply to this oxygen cylinder of Hindutva, statements are made (by BJP) that an alliance with Sena will happen," it said.
