In a swipe at the BJP at the Centre, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday, 4 March, wondered if demonetisation, which had an impact on the economy, shouldn't have found a mention in subsequent national budgets.
He was speaking at the launch of a book written by his predecessor, Devendra Fadnavis, titled “Arthsankalp: Sopya Bhashet” (Budget Simplified).
Assembly Speaker Nana Patole, Legislative Council Chairman Ramraje Naik Nimbalkar, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, Opposition Leader in Council Pravin Darekar and others were also present.
During his speech which was peppered with wit, Thackeray said he hoped that Fadnavis keeps writing books on the budgets presented by the Shiv Sena-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government for a long time.
