Watch: Congress leaders led by Rahul Gandhi protest against fuel price hike

As petrol and diesel rates continue to soar for the ninth consecutive day, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday led a group of his party MPs to stage a protest against the fuel price hike in New Delhi.

The Congress leaders chanted slogans and held placards demanding a rollback of fuel prices at Vijay Chowk on Thursday morning, as they kickstarted their three-phase “Mehngai Mukt Bharat Abhiyan” campaign. Between March 31 and April 7, the party plans to organise rallies and marches targeting the central government over rising inflation and consecutive fuel price hikes.

“In the last 10 days, petrol and diesel price have been increased 9 times. We demand that the rising prices should be brought under control.
