Mangaluru: Congress workers hold padayatra, protest against Centre over hike in fuel prices


Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru (DV)

Mangaluru, Jun 14: Former MLC Ivan D'Souza along with other Congress leaders carried out a padayatra staging a protest against the BJP-led union government over increase in fuel prices across the country at Mallikatte here on Monday June 14.

As a mark of protest, Congress leaders pulled a truck to the petroleum pump by raising slogans against BJP-led union government at the centre.

Ivan said, "BJP in its manifesto had assured the people of providing petrol and diesel at lower prices. But now, the price of petrol, diesel and cooking gas is skyrocketing. The working class and poor are not able to lead their life."

Alleging that the BJP is favouring Ambani and Adani to increase their assets, he further said, "The BJP government is looting the people through taxation and helping the rich to become wealthier."

Former corporator Appi and others were present.

    Unbelievable, I remember it was Rs.5/- plus in the mid 1970s. Crude oil was around US$ 30 / barrel and value of USD was about Rs.8/-.

    Petrol price hike is the only scheme, where no religion, no region, no language, no caste, no gender, no profession is favored. Hence I like it.

    @Ravi - Dr.Singh sold petrol at 70 INR when crude oil/barrel at 140$ and now 56$/barrel. But AndhBhakts are definitely blinded to see that… Chaiwala is ensuring ADANI & AMBANI grow 😜😜😏

    One more drama. Reason to come out during lockdown. Any one in the group put some light what happened to the Surthkal toll? I think same group made protest. Air port name issue. Please make list where and when protest done and the resultant outputs. May be waiting to reach Century, to get up from sleep.
