LDF seeks public support for protest

Thiruvananthapuram: LDF convener A Vijayaraghavan has solicited public participation in the statewide protest planned by the front on Wednesday against spiralling fuel prices.
Vijayaraghavan said the protest would be organized at five lakh spots across the state and around 20 lakh people would participate.
The protest programmes, being planned at local body ward-wise, would begin at 4pm, adhering to Covid-19 protocols.
Vijayaraghavan, who accused the Union government for the fuel price rise, alleged that private oil companies were pumping money into BJP’s account as the fuel price soared.
The Union government, he said in a statement, should immediately intervene to bring down the oil prices as people were reeling under the fuel price hikes taking place on a daily basis.
