Members of the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) on Monday rode a bullock cart to protest against the hike in diesel and petrol prices in the country.
IYC president Srinivas BV, along with a few others, rode the bullock cart from the outfit’s headquarters at Raisina Road to Shastri Bhawan, where police stopped them.
Some protesters marched alongside the bullock cart, raising slogans against the fuel price hike. “When the Congress-led UPA was in power, relief was given to people even though international crude oil prices were soaring while the Modi government has been raising petrol and diesel prices, causing problems to the people already facing hardships due to the pandemic,” Srinivas said.
