The Opposition parties of the AP State Legislative Assembly went on a unique protest against the rise in process of essential commodities.
Leaders from the Telugu Desam Party and the Left started from NTR Ghat on bullock carts and bicycles, and traveled to the Assembly via the Telugu Talli flyover. Ex-Cm and TDP chief Chandra Babu Naidu was on a cart and later moved to a bicycle.
Naidu said that the middle class and the poor are suffering, and that the livelihood of farmers is being gravely affected. He said that the CM’s statement that development would stop if prices are not raised is not correct, and that it is wrong to oppress the poor by hitting on their daily bread.
