CPI leaders staged a unique protest against the State’s inaction on the skyrocketing tomato prices by ‘begging’ on the streets of Nandyal town on Wednesday.
Carrying banners, the party activists sought alms from the public to ‘afford tomatoes’. Party leaders said the government, after having failed to curb the rise in prices of petroleum products, had clearly missed the signs in anticipating the sudden rise in tomato prices and was responsible for the burden on the common man.
