The report further added that the BJD will protest the rise in the prices of LPG, edible oil, pulses and other essential commodities and the party will be organising the protest meetings in all the 147 Assembly constituencies of the State on November 1.
Similarly, the Biju Chhatra Janata Dal (BCJD) and Biju Yuva Janata Dal (BYJD) will hold demonstrations outside petrol pumps in all 147 assembly constituencies. Pratap Deb, BJD MLA stated that the rising prices of petrol, diesel and LPG have burdened each and every household in the country amid the ongoing pandemic. At a time when life and several businesses are gradually limping back to normalcy, the rise in the prices of essential commodities has added to their woes. BJD will never stay silent over this issue and raise its voice in the public interest.
