Continuing its scathing attack on the Congress-led UPA Government, the Biju Yuva Janata Dal (BYJD) on Sunday held a demonstration in front of the Raj Bhavan in protest against the fresh hike in the price of petrol by Rs 2 and held the Central Government responsible for it. The protesters demanded immediate rollback of the hiked price.
BYJD president Sanjay Dasburma said the UPA regime has totally failed to be a Government of Aam Admi. Many party leaders like MlA Priti Ranjan Ghadaiand BMC Mayor Anant Narayan Jena too blasted the Central Government.
later, the leaders submitted a memorandum to the Governor demanding immediate withdrawal of the oil price hike. The Communist Party of India (CPI) also staged a demonstration at the Raj Mahal Square here and strongly opposed the hike in petrol price and demanded its rollback forthwith. The demonstration was led by CPI Bhubaneswar zonal council secretary Sura Jena.
