Jharkhand: Protest in Giridih against Petrol-Diesel Price Hike
The Modi government is dealing blow upon cruel blow of inflation on the people of the country already struggling under the burden of Lockdown. The hiked prices of petrol, diesel and cooking gas have gone beyond the tolerance of the common people. The government must immediately constrain companies to roll back the prices, and take full control of essential items like petroleum products and gas cylinders. The above statements were made by CPIML leaders during a protest and effigy burning of PM Modi against petrol-diesel price hike in Giridih on 1 March.
Party leaders Rajesh Kumar Yadav, Rajesh Sinha, Priti Bhaskar and other leaders led the protest where they said that the government has forgotten that the people elected the Modi government to get relief from inflation and rising prices. But the government which promised Achchhe Din has become a nightmare for the people.
