Indraprasth aka New Delhi - Tens of thousands of Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) workers are to assemble for a massive protest rally
against price rise in New Delhi on Wednesday. Top Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) leaders will address the anti-price rise rally at Ram
Lila ground.
The rally will culminate in a march to parliament. The party is
protesting against the food policies of the Congress-led United
Progressive Alliance (UPA) government.
This will be the biggest mass rally of the party under the leadership
of its president Nitin Gadkari, who assumed office in December last
year. The rally will be addressed by senior party leaders, including
L.K. Advani, Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley, and Rajnath Singh besides
Gadkari, BJP sources said.
Having set a target of mobilising 10 lakh people, the BJP workers
from across the country have been making preparations for the rally
for some weeks.
The rally is the culmination of protests held by the party in various
states against increase in prices of essential commodities.
Party leaders have blamed food price hike on the wrong policies of
the government.
They alleged that food stocks were rotting due to poor storage and
prices were going up despite government claims of good production.
They said that sugar had been exported at almost a third of the price
at which it was being imported.
Gadkari had earlier this month posed fourteen questions to prime
minister concerning the price rise.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Wednesday boycotted the Lok Sabha
proceedings to join its mass rally here to protest against the
spiralling prices of essential commodities.
BJP spokesman Shahnawaz Hussain said that party MPs felt it was more
important to be part of the rally.
BJP leader and Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj, who addressed
the house before the start of question hour, slammed the government's
"wrong policies" for the price rise and said BJP MPs were joining the
"lakhs and lakhs of people" who had come from all over the country
for the protest.
"Price rise is not an outcome of any natural calamity, it is the
outcome of the wrong policies of the government," Swaraj said in her
two-minute speech.
She said though the first day of the budget session began with a
debate over price rise, there was no satisfactory reply by the
government and no effort was made to curb the price rise.
Soon after her speech, the BJP MPs raised slogans against the
government and trooped out of the house. They did not disrupt the
question hour.
