Jagdalpur | Correspondent: Political tensions flared up in Bastar district after the local population faced some severe issues on the shortage of petrol and diesel.
Youth Congress workers staged protest outside one of petrol pumps in the Jagdalpur witnessing the situation.
The workers holding posters sarcastically stating 'Modi hai toh mumkin hai' and using it sharply to criticize the central economic policies.
Protests led by Sushil Maurya, President of Bastar district Congress Committee (City) and another Youth Congress President Niket Raj Jha, the protest featured speakers who asserted that the artificial scarcity of fuel has brought the pace of life in Bastar to a standstill.
Accusing the Central government of insensitivity, Sushil Maurya stated that despite standing in queues for hours under the scorching heat, people are forcefully returning empty handed. This is a situation of failure of administration.
Meanwhile, Niket Raj Jha warned that amidst the current era of rising inflation, the unavailability of petrol and diesel has broken the backs of both common and the farmers.
He further declared that if fuel supplies are not normalized soon, the Youth Congress will intensify the agitation.
