Following a call from AICC, the Congress in Chhattisgarh will launch a 10-day statewide agitation against price rise from July 7.
The party's Communication Wing chief Shailesh Nitin Trivedi said: “To give voice to the plight of a people already suffering on account of Covid, unemployment and salary cuts, the Congress has decided to launch agitations at block, district and state levels."
The protests will take place between July 7 and 17. Party leaders and workers would take out ‘Cycle Yatra’ in districts. A signature campaign will be run at all petrol pumps across the country demanding a cut in fuel prices.
Fuel prices have crossed Rs 100 per liter in many states.
