Mangaluru: District Congress president, Harish Kumar informed that a protest rally will be carried out by them from Bavutagudda to DC office on March 2 against price hike of petrol, diesel and gas cylinder.

At a press meet conducted on February 23, Harish Kumar stated that the price hike has led to the increase of price in commodities, autos, taxis and even 70% of boats are unmoved. He said, “the petrol price has crossed Rs 100 mark in few states. Today discussion has been started over the comparisons between UPA and NDA government. Narendra Modi-led government is directly responsible for the hike, on the other hand, the finance minister does not know anything about the economy.”

He said that the central government is cracking a joke of the decade where they alleged that the UPA government was responsible for the price hike. “They keep on saying that India has witnessed drastic changes in the 6-7 years compared to 60 years of UPA government. BJP need to tell people about their achievement in the last 6-7 years,” said Harish Kumar.

Harish Kumar said that the District congress is in constant touch with bus associations and rickshaw associations to take part in the protest rally and that bus and rickshaw movement will be stopped till 2 pm on that day.

Former MLA Ramanath Rai, corporator Shashidhar Hegde, MCC opposition leader Abdul Rauf, Prakash Salian, Vishwas Das and others were present.
