The Congress MPs on Thursday staged a protest outside Parliament against the rising prices of fuel and demanded its roll back.
Interacting with media after the protest, party leader Rahul Gandhi said: "The Congress is protesting nationwide against the fuel price hike and we demand a roll back as the government is filling its coffers while the comman man is suffering."
The Congress has planned a three-phase protest. On Thursday, Congress leaders and workers, along with people will stage a protest outside their homes and public places by garlanding gas cylinders, scooters/bikes, empty petrol/diesel cans, etc., and also post these activities on various social media platforms, to draw the attention of the deaf BJP government against the insurmountable increase in prices of gas-petrol-diesel.
A circular issued by the party says: "People of India have been betrayed, duped and deceived by the Modi Government. After keeping the prices of petrol, diesel, gas cylinder, piped natural gas (PNG) & CNG unchanged for 137 days to secure the votes of people, last one week has been a nightmare for budget of every household."
Between April 2 and 4, at 11 a.m. there will be 'Mehngai Mukt Bharat Dharna & March' with participation of people at the district headquarters, organised by the District Congress Committees.(IANS)
