West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today mocked the Centre over rupee's record-breaking slide, saying the Indian currency was suffering from "low fever".

In a tweet, she said, "Rupee suffering from low fever. Petrol and diesel prices highest ever. Foreign Exchange Reserves have fallen by $21.84 billion between March end and August 3."
Describing the economic situation as "very dangerous", she added, "Everyone in the country is concerned now. Where we are heading?"
