Trinamul on Monday started a 10-day protest against the failure of the Narendra Modi government to rein in fuel prices, the event coinciding with petrol price touching Rs 100 a litre in south Bengal districts such as Bankura, Birbhum, Purulia and Hooghly.
Bengal’s ruling party decided to counter the BJP’s growing support base by exposing the “anti-people policies of the Modi government”, and the protest against the rising fuel prices was an outreach in that direction, a Trinamul insider said.

In Bankura’s Raipur, Trinamul leaders rode on a dozen bullock carts and started a “dedicated route from Bankura to Calcutta and Bankura to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence in Delhi” in a mock gesture against fuel price rise.
