NCP to hold statewide rallies for 2 days over hike in LPG, fuel prices
The state unit of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has decided to organise protest rallies for 2 days from Friday across the state over the Centre’s decision to hike prices of LPG, petrol and diesel.
State NCP president and senior minister Jayant Patil said, “If the Centre’s decision to increase prices of cooking gas fuels unrest in households, we have to take appropriate action against it. We cannot remain mute spectators. We have to resort to statewide protests.”
The protests across talukas will be held on Friday and Saturday. However, the party has directed its workers to strictly observe Covid-19 guidelines, like wearing masks, using hand sanitizers and maintaining social distancing norms, during the rallies.
