AURANGABAD
: Shiv Sena workers led by
MLC Ambadas Danve
on Saturday held a mega agitation against the hike in prices of different articles, including fuel, along with lodging their protest against Union minister Raosaheb Danve’s statement regarding the farmers’ protest in Delhi.
The protests were held at the busy Kranti Chowk cross road on a day when Sena’s party chief and chief minister
Uddhav Thackeray and other senior leaders were in the town.
“Inflation is sky-rocketing. The prices of all commodities are rising with each passing day and the BJP-led Union government is leaving no stone unturned to add to the suffering of the people,” Anbadas
Danve
said.
Issuing an ultimatum, he said that if the demands of the farmers’ agitating in Delhi were not addressed, they would agitate at the village and taluka level.
Sena has also demanded an apology from Raosaheb Danve. Even in Nashik, Sena leader Sanjay Raut came down heavily on news reports alleging that the farmers’ strike was being hijacked by the Leftists and Khalistan supporters from
Pakistan.
“It is misleading propaganda,” he said.
In Aurangabad, the Sena workers, while raising slogans against the
BJP leadership, and said that their silence on the hike in petrol, diesel and
LPG
prices, is deafening.
“Our demand is that the price hike should be reduced. Similarly, we are protesting against the statement made by minister Raosaheb Danve that Pakistan and China have a hand in the farmers’ movement. Also, the Modi government should immediately resign,” a press release issued by the Sena stated.
Former mayor Nandkumar Ghodele and Santosh Jejurkar were leading the protest and carrying placards.
