BJP Tamil Nadu president K. Annamalai led a massive protest in Chennai on Tuesday, urging the DMK government to fulfil its election promise to reduce the price of petrol by ₹5 a litre (the government reduced it by ₹3 last year) and diesel by ₹4 a litre.
However, the party workers did not march towards the Secretariat, as announced, after the police stopped them near the Rajarathinam Stadium at Egmore where they had assembled.
