Halla Bol rally: Congress calls Centre 'insensitive' over inflation, unemployment issues
Congress General Secretary (Communications) Jairam Ramesh on Sunday said today's Halla Bol rally has nothing to do with upcoming Assembly elections in some States or the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, adding that it is a befitting message to the "insensitive central government" as people are troubled by inflation and unemployment.

The grand-old party said, "Bad economic policy of this Union government, therefore, we are, as a principal responsible opposition party of the country since last one year on the street, and we are in police stations against this price rise. Tomorrow is one of the most important day for this issue."
The Congress alleged that the Union government is completely insensitive as compared to price of LPG in 2014, what is its price in 2022? From 40 to 175 per cent is the increase in price of the items, 40 to 175 per cent increase in essential commodities, petrol-diesel and LPG. If you ask a question to the government, there is no answer.
On August 5, a protest was held wearing black clothes in which former Congress President Rahul Gandhi, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, all Congress MPs, all Congress Legislature Party leaders from various states and Pradesh Congress Committee Presidents were arrested.
The grand-old party said that their protest is taking place everywhere, whether it is south, north, west, north-eastern states, district level and block level, and even at petrol pumps they have done a massive signature protest campaign all over India, by taking crores of signatures from the common man, who were affected by this price rise and sent it to the President.
All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary, K.C. Venugopal said, "We can proudly say that we are the party, which is fighting against this most painful price rise issue all over the country. From 2021 onwards consistently, continuously, we are staging this protest."
Congress hopes that lakhs of people will attend the protest rally, besides party workers from the neighbouring states of Delhi and party leaders from all over India.
