Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray has claimed that the “acche din” as projected by the BJP “never came” but the “black days” will come if the saffron party is not defeated in the ongoing Lok Sabha Elections. Thackeray’s remarks came in an interview to his party mouthpiece 'Saamana' while speaking about the general elections. He said that the people of the country will decide the future of their leaders.
"The future of the country will be peaceful and democracy will thrive if the present government is defeated...else the country will see black days. Acche din (good days) never came, but black days will..," he claimed.

He also alleged that protection of the corrupt is the "Modi guarantee".
“All other political parties and the country are being cleansed of the corrupt people since the BJP has assured protection to them with their induction into its fold,” Thackeray claimed.
"The BJP is inducting all corrupt people like a vacuum cleaner which sucks all dust and dirt. Congress, Shiv Sena and the entire country have become free of the corrupt people," he added.
Asked about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speeches during the poll campaign, Thackeray said, "He (the PM) has Pakistan in his speeches while the opposition speaks about India."
The former CM also accused the BJP of "bringing Lord Ram" in the election discourse because the ruling party has nothing to project in terms of development.
