The Shiv Sena in its mouthpiece 'Saamana' on Thursday took a dig at the Centre for rise in inflation. The editorial said this government came to power on the lines of 'mehngai dayain khaye jaat hai' but the same sword of inflation is over this government. 'Ache din will come when they come but give the normal days back', it said.

On one hand there is no employment, on the other there is a fear of losing the current jobs, the editorial said. At the same time rising inflation with which cost of living is rising, the party said in its mouthpiece.

It added saying the government should leave other issues and concentrate on controlling this double whammy. If not, then people will pass on these bad days to the government, this should be kept in mind.

The editorial said, "The RBI expected rate of inflation in India to be around 4 per cent but it turned out to be high at 7.35 per cent. Adding to this, the growth rate is slipping. Global recession and tensions between the US and Iran are not the only reason for slowdown in India. Even after having a clear mandate, the end of slowdown is not in sight."

The party pointed out that everything from necessities like vegetable and grocery to gold-silver is expensive. There are also expectations of oil prices rising in the near future, the party mentioned.

"There is an increase in prices of food products at about 15-20 per cent. If the prices rise further, it will make survival of the common man difficult. There will be 16 lakh lesser jobs created. According to a report by 'centre for monitoring Indian Economy', ten states have high unemployment rates out of which six states are governed by the BJP and their allies," the editorial further said.
