New Delhi: Now the situation has completely changed for both Congress and BJP in just only 3-4 month as now Congress is on road against the Price Hike and rise in Railway Fare issue, and that for BJP, justifying the decision of compulsion behind this price hike.
Just after four month later, Congress workers onder the leadership of Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Arvinder Singh held a demonstration outside the Parliament House on the first day of the Congress party’s “Halla Bol Andolan” against the BJP-led Central Government to protest against the hike in the passenger and freight fares by the Railways and demanding roll back, and warned the Government against the soaring prices of essential commodities and food items.
When the Congress workers set out from Jantar Mantar to gherao the Parliament House, police lathi-charged the workers. Over a dozen Congress workers, including women, were injured in the lathi-charge. Before the lathi-charge, the police arrested Congress leaders Shri Arvinder Singh, Shri Haroon Yusuf, Shri Sajjan Kumar, Shri Jagdish Tytler and Shri Mukesh Sharma. The effigy of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi was also burnt.
Addressing the demonstrators, Shri Arvinder Singh and Shri Haroon Yusuf said the BJP-led Central Government had failed to stop the price rise, and instead by giving protection to the hoarders by the BJP Government, the prices have risen sky high. The Congress leaders said the BJP Government at the Centre was pursuing the same policies which they had criticized during the UPA rule at the Centre. They said Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi should tender an unconditional apology to the people of the country for telling lies. They said the Government had only made statements with regard to containing price rise, as the Central Government had no interest in taking any strong action to control prices.
Both the leaders said the silence of Arvind Kejriwal in all these matters proved that his agenda was to help BJP form the Government at the Centre. They warned that if any new tax was imposed on the people of Delhi, the Congress workers will mount agitations in the lanes and bylanes of Delhi, and the Central Government will be responsible for such an eventuality.
The demonstrators were also addressed by Shri Jagdish Tytler, Shri Sajjan Kumar and Shri Kuljit Singh Nagra. All the three leaders said under the nose of the BJP Government, which was talking of women’s protection, the number of cases of assaults on women was increasing, and the BJP was now silent on this matter.
