The Samajwadi Party State unit organised a bullock cart rally here to register its protest on the price hike of petrol, diesel and cooking gas.
The party also raised the Mahanadi water dispute issue and sought a direction from the Prime Minister to the Chhatisgarh Government to stop construction of barrages and dams on the upstream of Mahanadi and open Kalama barrage gate for water flow to the Mahanadi bed.
About 100 party workers marched from Bhubaneswar Railway station to the PMG square holding banners and placards and raising the slogan
‘Where is your ‘Achhe Din’ Mr Prime MinisterIJ Have you brought black money from the foreign countries and credited Rs15 lakh to each accountIJ’
President Rabi Behera also questioned Modi about his promise of two crore jobs and the failure of the banks to check rising NPA, besides on dwindling health of Rupee in comparison to Dollar, hasty implementation of GST and whimsical demonetisation.
