Opposition parties Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) held protest demonstrations in various cities across the state on Friday against rising fuel prices and inflation.

In Gandhinagar, workers of AAP’s youth wing offered Rs 5 to two-wheeler riders who arrived at a petrol pump, as an “awareness” initiative against fuel price hike.

Around two dozen AAP workers reached the Indian Oil pump near Gh-2 circle in Gandhinagar and started offering Rs 5 to two-wheeler riders who arrived at the pump for refilling.

Those availing discount were then asked to pose with placards protesting against the fuel price hike. One of the placards read “Keep rate of petrol-diesel in control, else people will join AAP.”
