NDTV
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut alleged that the government has fooled the people for the last seven years.
Hitting out at the Centre over the rising fuel prices and other issues, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Friday said the promises of ''achhe din" (good days) and depositing Rs 15 lakh into the bank accounts of people were nothing but 'April Fools' Day' jokes.
Alleging that the government has fooled the people for the last seven years, he said it should now work for their welfare as it is a "life and death" situation for the common man.
April 1 is celebrated as April Fools' Day, wherein people play practical jokes on each other.
Talking to reporters in Mumbai, Mr Raut said, "The promises of 'achhe din', depositing Rs 15 lakh into the bank accounts of citizens, integrating Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) into India and providing employment are nothing but April fool jokes."
