Petrol Diesel Price Hike LIVE: YSR Congress Holds Protests Across Andhra Over Petrol Price Hike
YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) staged protests across Andhra Pradesh on Monday against the hike in petrol and diesel prices and demanded immediate rollback.
Responding to the call given by YSRCP President and former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, party leaders, cadre, and supporters staged massive protests in all constituencies.
Rallies, dharnas, padayatras, and innovative protest programmes were organised in almost every constituency, with leaders submitting memorandums to Collectors, RDOs, and Tahsildars demanding an immediate rollback of fuel prices.
YSRCP leaders alleged that the coalition government betrayed people after promising to reduce fuel prices before elections. They said the sharp increase in petrol and diesel prices was placing a severe burden on farmers, middle-class families, transport workers, and daily wage earners, besides triggering inflation in essential commodities.

The companies had been selling fuel at old rates for nearly 10 weeks even as their costs kept rising. When their losses became unsustainable, the prices of petrol and diesel were raised last week.
