On Thursday, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visited the West Bengal Secretariat on a battery-powered scooter to protest the rise in petrol and diesel prices in India.
The huge difference between the petrol and diesel prices when the Modi government first came to power and now is a huge hoax.
He also urged other opposition parties across the country to take to the streets. Instead of a car, Mamata went from Hajra in Kolkata to Nabanna on an electric scooter. Instead of a car, he walked from home to Hazra turn.
From there go to Navanne on an electric scooter. Prime Minister Firhad Hakim was in the driver's seat. Arriving in Nabanna, the Chief Minister said, 'We are protesting against the way the prices of petrol, diesel and gas have gone up. A gas cylinder has gone up to Rs 800, the price went up again last night.
Now kerosene is not even available. 10 million people in my state cook with kerosene. They are not getting kerosene for cooking.
If the price of petrol and diesel goes up, the kitchen will also catch fire. The Chief Minister said that the price of diesel would not have gone up thinking of the farmers. Now they are not giving concessions to the farmers.
