Condemning the failure of the Union Government in checking the soaring prices of essential commodities and its apathy towards the hardships of the people, members of the Congress staged a demonstration in Dharwad on Saturday.
Staging the demonstration at Jayanagar Circle, the Congress workers offered ‘shraddhanjali’ (tribute) to domestic LPG cylinders, petrol, and diesel to symbolically register their protest against the Government’s inaction.
Addressing the protesters, Congress leader Nagaraj Gouri said that during the elections to the five States, the BJP assured ‘acche din’ (good days) to the people and soon after the elections were won, it had allowed a steep hike in fuel prices and LPG.
