MUMBAI: In a vitriolic attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over demonetisation , the Shiv Sena today said he had dropped a "nuclear bomb" on the country through the decision and turned the economy into "Hiroshima- Nagasaki", the Japanese cities devastated by the US during the World War II. "Even ASSOCHAM has concluded that 40 lakh jobs have been lost post-demonetisation and that the number will rise in future. This means that by dropping the nuclear bomb of note ban, Modi has turned the Indian economy into Hiroshima, Nagasaki. "The backbone of farmers has been broken and nobody is there to ask about their condition. "We are pained to see that the paces of lives of people has been derailed," it added.
