Chandigarh, January 3
The local unit of the Congress today staged protests in parts of the city. They beat “thalis” and clapped to protest the increasing prices of gas, petrol, diesel and charges of water and electricity.
According to the Congress, its leaders and workers in Mani Majra, Maloya, Mauli Jagran, Bapudham Colony, Ramdarbar, Maloya Rehabilitation Colony, Dadumajra, Sectors 34, 35, 25, 26, 29, 49, 20, 19 and 27, Kishangarh and Behlana village came out on roads and raised slogans against the “faulty” policies of the BJP government. They said they were supported by the local people.
City Congress president Pardeep Chhabra said by increasing the prices of the basic commodities, the BJP had left no stone unturned to leave the pockets of common people completely empty. The BJP leaders made tall promises and now they are forced to take U-turn on all false promises made to people.
“It seems the Modi-led BJP government has taken it upon themselves to completely destroy the nation. The farmers, students, labour, youth and even employees are often seen protesting on roads for their rights, but the ‘chowkidar of Ambani and Adani’ is absolutely deaf to the voice of common people,” he alleged.
“The government is only working for the benefits of a few capitalist friends of the BJP and it can be seen in the way NPAs are increasing and huge loans of these industrialist friends of Modi are being waived,” he alleged.
Senior leaders, block presidents and other office-bearers of the Chandigarh Congress took part in the protest.
