BJD holds peaceful protest against diesel price hike
Rourkela: In protest
against the UPA government’s decision to hike diesel price and to cap supply of
LPG to every family to six cylinders per year, hundreds of Biju Janata Dal
workers, led by local party president Ananda Mohanty, today staged
demonstration outside the ADM office.
Shouting
anti-UPA slogans and holding party flags, they lambasted the Central government
for making upward revision of the fuel price. Mohanty alleged that the rise in
fuel price will leave an impact further on the prices of essential commodities,
which are already spiraling, making the common people pay through the nose.
Not
only that, diesel price hike will lead to rise in the transport cost. A delegation
from the party submitted a memorandum to the ADM in this regard.
Former
minister and Rourkela MLA Sarada Nayak along with his supporters protested the
fuel price hike. Lashing out at the Congress-led UPA at the Centre for the fuel
price hike, supporters of Nayak were all praise for Chief Minister Naveen
Patnaik. Nayak demanded immediate rollback of price hike and stated that price
hike by UPA government exposes its policy paralysis.
