The Shiv Sena has severely criticised the Narendra Modi government for not reining in prices of essential commodities.
An edit in its party mouthpiece Saamna said: “The average expenditure incurred by a household of four has increased from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 8,000.”
Remarking that this was causing a severe strain on the budgets of middle-class homes, the edit also censured its ally and the Devendra Fadnavis-led BJP government in Maharashtra for imposing fresh surcharges on petrol and diesel.
