Shiv Sena hits attacks PM Narendra Modi again, says 'Every hero of politics should tread with caution'

February 13, 2015

Mumbai, Feb 13: In a veiled attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi after BJP's rout in Delhi Assembly polls, Shiv Sena on Friday said a "hero of politics" should not be under the misconception of having unstinted support of the people.

Shiv Sena hits"It is impossible to say whose wave will sweep away whom in the future...Every hero of politics should tread with caution...The people of this country are supreme. One should not think that one has an unstinted support of people," an editorial in Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana' said.

"Having an excessive pride of simplicity and honesty is also not right. "(Arvind) Kejriwal's brand is his muffler. But he should not have any problem in keeping the muffler away when it has no use," it further said.

"According to reports, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had worn a branded Rs 30-35 lakh suit when (US President Barack) Obama had come to India. Kejriwal should make sure his muffler too does not become branded like the suit," the Sena said.

A day after the BJP was decimated in the Delhi Assembly elections, the Sena had torn into its ally saying that the "broom—wielding" AAP had reduced the BJP to "dirt" in the election and virtually demanded that Modi accept the blame for it.

"The entire election campaign was run in the name of Modi. Anna Hazare said this is Modi's defeat. We too feel the same. The way the party attributed its success in other states to Modi, they should do the same for Delhi," it had said.

New Delhi, Jul 30: India's gold demand in 2020 is expected to fall to the lowest level in 26 years with domestic bullion prices hitting a record high and as falling disposable incomes could curtail retail purchases, the World Gold Council (WGC) said on Thursday.

Lower demand by the world's second-biggest bullion consumer could limit a rally in global prices, which hit a record high earlier this month, although it could also reduce India's trade deficit and support the ailing rupee.

"Fast rising gold prices could act as headwinds," said Somasundaram PR, the managing director of WGC's Indian operations.

Local gold futures have jumped 35% so far this year after rising a quarter in 2019.

India's gold consumption in the first half of 2020 plunged 56% on-year to 165.6 tonnes. Meanwhile, the coronavirus-triggered lockdown also slashed demand by 70% in the June quarter to 63.7 tonnes, the lowest in more than a decade, the WGC said in a report published on Thursday.

Millions of Indians have lost their jobs or taken a pay cut after the country imposed a lockdown on its 1.3 billion people to curb the spread of the virus that has infected more than 1.5 million Indians.

Consumption is generally high during the June quarter due to weddings and key festivals such as Akshaya Tritiya, but lockdown restrictions kept shoppers indoors this year.

The weak demand in the first half could drag down India's gold consumption in 2020 to the lowest since 1994, when demand stood at 415 tonnes, Somasundaram said, adding that it is still difficult to provide an estimate for full-year demand as the coronavirus crisis is still unfolding.

"Indian demand has previously jumped as much as 300 tonnes in a quarter. Latent demand could come out in the second half," Somasundaram said.
