GB Nagar: BKU members protest against fuel, LPG cylinder price hike

Noida Different factions of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) on Thursday protested the rising fuel and cooking gas prices, at several places in Gautam Budh Nagar.

Many carried empty LPG cylinders, arrived in tractors and shouted slogans against the Union government.

Parvinder Yadav, president of the Uttar Pradesh unit of the BKU-Kranti, said, “The rising prices have affected farmers. We are unable to drive tractors as diesel is costly. The farming cost has increased, and the outcome also is not satisfactory… Earlier, BJP leaders used to protest against price rises. However, now that they are in the government, the inflation is not in check.”
