Mumbai | Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray on Tuesday while attacking Narendra Modi led BJP government over the downfall of the value of Rupee alleged that the government promised to bring the Rupee equal to the Dollar.
Taking on Twitter Shiv Sena Youth President, Aditya Thackeray said, “From what I remember last, the promise was to bring the Rupee equal to the Dollar, like it was when we won our freedom, $1=₹1. Irrespective of the global and local situations. At least that was the campaign. Perhaps we must realise that we are going the other way?”
From what I remember last, the promise was to bring the Rupee equal to the Dollar, like it was when we won our freedom, $1=₹1. Irrespective of the global and local situations. Atleast that was the campaign. Perhaps we must realise that we are going the other way?

Taking a swipe at the government, Thackeray added that he might binterpretingng it the wrong way. He said, “Like when we won freedom” may also mean in our first year, it was ₹1=$1. Now at 71 years of Independence, we’re touching 70! We’re surely moving towards the promise.
Oops! Or may be I’m interpreting it the wrong way. “Like when we won freedom” may also mean in our first year, it was ₹1=$1. Now at 71 years of Independence, we’re touching 70! We’re surely moving towards the promise!
