Trinamul leader Mamata Banerjee here on Saturday indicated that her party will keep on flagging rising LPG cylinder prices and affirmed she would hit the streets in Siliguri on Sunday to protest the hike.
On Sunday, Mamata is scheduled to walk a 3.5km rally from Darjeeling More of the city to Venus More (Hashmi Chowk), her first public programme after her name was announced as Trinamul’s candidate in the Nandigram Assembly seat against the BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari.
“On one hand, rice is available for free (by the state government through the PDS) while on the other hand, LPG prices are increasing steadily and going beyond the reach of people. This cannot simply go on. Tomorrow (Sunday), we will carry cylinders at the rally in protest,” Mamata told journalists at the Bagdogra airport after her arrival.
