Giving the above information here on Tuesday evening, spokesman of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee, Ashok Singh said that state president had directed all senior leaders at District level that they should organize a demonstration at district head-quarter on Wednesday to protest the decision of Central government for recent hike in petrol diesel prices, railway fares and for Narendra Modi’s government failure to check inflation which is affecting common man particularly in form of rise in eatable items and vegetables.
