MUMBAI: The Shiv Sena on Friday described the BJP-led central government as ‘East India Company’, while slamming the central government over the coal crisis in the country in its mouthpiece Saamna.
The Saamna editorial, titled, ‘Where is the freedom’, said that Maharashtra was witnessing load shedding due to the coal crisis and blamed the Centre for it. “Due to the clumsy and corrupt handling of the coal sector by the centre, there are fears that five states, including Maharashtra, will be plunged into darkness. There are many unanswered questions. Why is there a sudden coal shortage? Did the centre create an artificial coal shortage for the benefit of certain industrialists? The people have lost faith in the central government.
