The official mouthpiece of Shiv Sena (UBT), 'Saamana', in an editorial took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the central government over rising inflation, reported news agency ANI. Lashing out at the Centre, the piece claimed that it was busy "breaking the Opposition parties" amid the soaring prices of essential commodities.

"As we can see at present, inflation is going through the roof and the prices of essential commodities are sky-rocketing. On top of this, there is fear of shortage of grains, pulses and sugar. This has given rise to questions if the government is aware of the situation and is working to bring some respite to the common man burdened by runaway inflation. This government is merely busy breaking the Opposition parties, unleashing central agencies to harass Opposition leaders and resorting to politics while people continue to suffer," the editorial read, reported ANI.
