After BJP, it's the turn of JD (U) to oppose petrol price hike
After the Bhatta-Parsaul land issue, it is the hike in petrol prices, which has brought the entire opposition on a common platform to attack the ruling Congress government.
ALMOST ALL the political parties in opposition are united on the issue of petrol price hike, and they want the government to roll back its decision, in order to give some relief to the common man, who is finding it hard to make both ends meet. The prices of all essential items are going up, and now with a hint of another hike in the coming week, the prices of diesel and LPG would be revised soon that would make cost of living more miserable for lakhs of middle class families who are already under the burden of loans and high expenses on education and other essential items of daily needs. Nearly all the political outfits in the state of Uttar Pradesh demonstrated on roads and at some places they even held trains for sometime as a mark of protest. The supporters of Samajwadi Party held up Ganga Gomti Express near Prayag in Allahabad when the train was coming towards Lucknow. In Lucknow too, the workers of BJP took out a procession to protest against the price hike. Janta Dal United state president of Uttar Pradesh, Suresh Niranjan “Bhaiyyaji”, has also expressed his anguish over the United Progressive Alliance’s decision to increase the prices of petrol, and said the hike was made just after the elections to five states were concluded. He said the common man was expecting some sort of relief from the government but instead of providing any relief, the government has put more financial burden on the shoulders of the middle-class.
