Congress to stage ‘Raj Bhavan Gherao’
Description
Hyderabad: The Congress will organise Raj Bhavan gherao programme on Tuesday to express solidarity with the agitating farmers demanding MSP in the new farm laws. The Congress will also demand roll back of hiked petrol and diesel prices. The Congress leaders will gather at Lumbini Park near the old secretariat campus and march to Raj Bhavan. Telangana Congress president N Uttam Kumar Reddy said the central government should stop its delaying tactics and immediately offer MSP and concede to other demands of the farmers. Stating that the prices of diesel and petrol are being increased every month despite the crude oil price coming down in the international market, Uttam demanded that the central government should reduce the fuel prices to spare the middle class and other sections of the society from additional financial burden due to increasing costs of petrol and diesel.
