Due to the skyrocketing inflation it has become difficult for the common man to get the necessities for daily life. To divert attention from these issues, an "atmosphere of fear and anarchy is being created by the Centre" against opposition leaders "by misusing the ED and CBI", Dotasra said.

Even BJP leaders have started saying the party is working on how to remain in power leaving aside its basic responsibility of public service, the Congress leader claimed.
