In its editorial published in party mouthpiece 'Saamana', the Shiv Sena took a dig at Opposition parties, including former MVA ally NCP, for not joining last week's nationwide protests by Congress against inflation, unemployment, and GST hike on essential items.
The editorial was earlier published by Sanjay Raut, however, Uddhav Thackeray took over as the chief editor of Saamana after the latter's arrest by the ED in the Patra Chawl case.
Thackeray also aimed at West Bengal CM and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee by saying, "We find it serious that [TMC MPs] did not vote in the Vice-Presidential election due to trivial reasons.
