Similarly, the Biju Chhatra Janata Dal (BCJD) and Biju Yuva Janata Dal (BYJD) will hold demonstrations outside petrol pumps in all 147 assembly constituencies, said Mallick.
Targeting the BJP-led Union government over the rising prices, BJD MLA Pratap Deb said, “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,” Deb said.
