According to the official reports, on July 7, the party workers will be staging demonstrations at every block office while protesting over the rising fuel prices and on July 9, the party activists will stage protests at every subdivision of all districts.
Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) President Niranjan Patnaik stated that the pandemic has created so much chaos and there is literally zero earning of the common people and while people are coping with this difficult time, oil prices have now crossed the Rs 100 mark in more than 150 cities in India. Even the prices of essential commodities have also increased.
He further added that people are suffering due to the hike in the fuel prices and the centre must lower down the price. He also urges the common people to join the protest.
He then added that another similar campaign will be organised at all the petrol pumps on July 17 and he requested the consumers not to buy petrol, diesel and gas on July 15.
