Fuel prices: Mumbai Cong leaders protest on bullock cart, it breaks
The Mumbai Regional Congress Committee organised a protest at Sion Koliwada on Saturday as part of its 10-day calendar of protests across the state against rising petrol prices.
As part of the protest, the Congress used a pair of bullocks to pull a cart, recalling a similar bullock cart protest against rising fuel prices by the late Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 1973 when he was in the opposition. Vajpayee took the bullock cart to Parliament.
To the embarrassment of those participating in Saturday’s protest, the cart broke and the Congress leaders sitting on it suffered a fall.
