Post-polls, BJP unleashes ‘monster’ of fuel price hikes: Shiv Sena

Attacking the Centre over the spiralling inflation, Shiv Sena on Thursday said Bharatiya Janata Party has unleashed the ‘monster’ of fuel prices hike to bulldoze the common masses after the Assembly elections ended in five states this month.
Prior to the elections in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Manipur, Goa and Punjab, the Centre had decided to defer any hikes in prices of fuel or cooking, but after the polls, the BJP has revealed its true colours.
“The Opposition parties had even warned that the situation would change after the elections… But the government raked up issues like ‘hijab’, ‘Pakistan’, ‘Hindu-Muslims’, etc., and blocked the minds of the people who voted overwhelmingly for the BJP,” said the Sena.
In sharp edits in the party newspapers ‘Saamana’ and ‘Dopahar Ka Saamana’, the Sena said that after the polls, the government has resorted to the old adage, “once our work is done, the need is over” and uncorked the demons of fuel price hikes on the unsuspecting masses.
“Even if the people are jolted awake now, what’s the use… Once their votes are taken, their utility is also over, at least for the time being… The Opposition’s apprehensions on this count proved to be true,” said the edits.
The Sena pointed at the latest series of hikes of petrol-diesel, and also domestic cooking gas cylinders (14 kg) touching nearly Rs 1,000, and commercial gas cylinders (19 kg) at almost Rs 2,000.
The voters in the four states ‘donated’ power to the BJP which has reciprocated with a ‘gift’ of inflation by snatching away whatever money was left in the peoples’ pockets.
“This has been the policy of the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi… When elections are due, fuel prices are kept on hold, once the polling is over, they hike rates in an inhuman manner on the public,” slammed the Sena.
Simultaneously it plays a cruel joke on the citizens claiming that despite 137 day of spiralling crude oil prices in the global markets, they “did a favour” by not effecting a fuel price hike.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman even said that her government was more successful in checking inflation compared with the previous UPA government, but blamed the latest hikes on the Russia-Ukraine war.
The government even announced that it had managed to procure cheaper fuel from Russia though the global prices were skyrocketing, yet it crushed the people with the increase in prices of fuels here since the election season is over, said the Sena.

Maharashtra Marathi Hindi Controversy: Strict action will be taken against those who take law into their hands: Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis

Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has made it clear on the Hindi-Marathi language dispute that linguistic discrimination and violence cannot be tolerated. If anyone instigates violence in the name of Marathi language or takes the law into his own hands, strict action will be taken against him because it is the government’s responsibility to maintain law and order. He said that in the Mira Road Hindi Marathi violence case, the police have registered a case and taken action.
A committee has been formed in the matter of Marathi and Hindi language. Whatever is better for the students on its recommendation, the government will implement it. No decision has been taken under anyone’s pressure. He said that the recommendation for Hindi language was made during the Maha Vikas Aghadi rule itself, but now these same people are opposing it. The public knows everything.
He said that in this election, BJP has got 51 percent Marathi votes. Violence and discrimination in the name of language cannot be tolerated. Marathi is a source of pride for us, but we do not oppose Hindi. What will happen if a Marathi businessman in another state is asked to speak his language? In Assam, he was asked to speak Assamese. He said that strict action will be taken against those who break the law.

Opposition protests against the government for declaring Wari as urban Naxal

Mumbai: On the fourth day in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, the opposition created a ruckus over declaring Wari as urban Naxal and has made serious allegations against the government of insulting Wari. On the fourth day of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, the opposition has made several serious allegations against the ministers of the government while protesting on the steps of the Vidhan Bhavan. The ministers included in the cabinet of the state government are misusing their powers and occupying government lands in the state.
Just as the ruling front is trying to defame the holy pilgrimage of Hinduism, Wari, by calling Vitthurai and Warkars urban Naxalites and urban Maoists, in the same way it is insulting Wari Palkhi. This is reprehensible. Members of the Maha Vikas Aghadi staged a strong protest on the steps of the Vidhan Bhavan against the ruling front and accused the government of insulting Wari. In this demonstration, the members also raised slogans cursing the government and said that due to the scamster government, farmers are dying of hunger and the ministers are calling the laborers urban Naxalites. Shiv Sena leader of opposition Ambadas Danve, Vijay Varditwar, Sachin Ahir, Jitendra Ahawat etc. participated in this protest.
