BJP activists today blocked traffic in many parts of the capital as part of their protest against the "steepest" petrol price hike.
Activists blocked traffic at Akshardham, Moti Nagar, Khanpur and Hanmdard T-Point on MB Road among other places in the city.
BJP leaders Vijay Goel, Vijender Gupta and others led protests at various locations.
The party had yesterday held rallies at five places.

He noted that the so-called pro-poor UPA government hiked the petrol price by Rs 5 per litre.
