The Bengal BJP on Thursday demanded Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to cut the prices of fuel in the next 15 days, failing which they would launch massive protests across the state.
BJP state president Sukanta Majumder said, “The Centre has already cleared all pending GST dues to the Bengal government and the state government should now cut the prices of petrol at least by Rs 5 and diesel by Rs 10. Failing which we will launch massive protests in the state and march to state secretariat Nabanna to fight for people’s rights.” “The Centre reduced fuel prices twice, but the state government has not lowered taxes even once. We will wait for 15 days, and if the state fails to take any step, we will hit the streets,” said Majumder warning the state government of massive protests.
