Congress Stages Protest Over LPG Cylinder Shortage in Kurukshetra
Congress workers in Kurukshetra held a significant demonstration on Wednesday to protest against the severe shortage of LPG cylinders in the region. The protest, led by District Congress Committee president Mewa Singh, highlighted growing public discontent over rising inflation and alleged black-marketing of essential commodities.
Protest Details and Actions Taken
The demonstrators gathered at Congress Bhawan and marched to Agarsen Chowk, where they voiced their grievances loudly. In a symbolic act of defiance, they burnt an effigy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing his government of failing to address the crisis. Slogans were raised condemning the escalating inflation and the illicit trade of LPG cylinders, which have exacerbated the struggles of ordinary citizens.
Criticism of Government Policies
Mewa Singh strongly criticized the central government's policies, asserting that they impose a heavy financial burden on poor and middle-class families. He emphasized that the constant rise in inflation, combined with steep LPG prices and rampant black-marketing, is causing significant hardships for the common man. Singh called for immediate government action to control inflation and ensure transparency in gas cylinder supplies, urging relief for the affected populace.
The protest underscores the ongoing challenges faced by residents in Kurukshetra due to resource shortages and economic pressures. It reflects broader concerns about governance and public welfare in the current political climate.
