JD(S) wants fuel price hike withdrawn

DAVANGERE: Members of the district unit of the Janata Dal (Secular) took out a rally here on Monday in protest against the hike in the prices of diesel, liquefied petroleum gas and kerosene.

The protest was led by B.M. Sathish, working president of the party's district unit.

The protesters urged the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance Government to either protect the interests of the people or step down.

The agitators also criticised the State Government for enhancing bus fares.

Mr. Sathish said that the prices of all essential commodities had gone up eight times compared to their prices three years ago.

The recent increase in fuel prices would only add to the woes of the common man, he said and urged the Union Government to think twice before enhancing fuel prices.

Das Kariappa, president of the party, urged the State Government to immediately withdraw the hike in bus fares.
