Shiv Sena accuses PM Modi of fanning controversies to shift focus from Covid, inflation

Shiv Sena accuses PM Modi of fanning controversies to shift focus from Covid, inflation

Friday, April 29, 2022 05:54:40 AM UTC

The Shiv Sena in its mouthpiece Saamana said that the Centre had failed at every level of governance and PM Narendra Modi liked to fan controversies to shift the focus from pressing issues like Covid, inflation, and unemployment.

Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamana, in its latest edition, launched a scathing attack on the Prime Minister and the central government. Accusing it of failure at every level, a Sena editorial stated that in order to divert attention from issues like price hike, Covid, and unemployment Prime Minister Narendra Modi fans controversial issues.

“The central government is failing at every level. A purchased majority does not mean good governance. The country is running on the issues of Ram and loudspeakers. To divert attention from inflation, corona, and unemployment, the Prime Minister raises controversial issues,” it read.

Commenting on the Prime Minister’s meeting with the Chief Ministers, the Saamna editorial stated that the focus of the talks changed from Covid-19 and became a platform for criticism of non-BJP-ruled states.

The Sena mouthpiece was also critical of the Prime Minister’s suggestion that VAT on petrol and diesel should be reduced in the states ruled by the Opposition. Saamana said that this was an attempt to pass on one's responsibility to others.

“Modi holds the states responsible in every case. Then is the central government just sitting to enjoy power? He blamed the states for the increase in petrol and diesel rates, shortage of coal, and lack of oxygen. Is the Centre just sitting to ring the bell,” asked Saamana

The editorial further said that the Modi government has raked in Rs 26 lakh crore through petrol-diesel in eight years.
