Mamata demands total rollback of petrol price hike

"The petrol price hike has to be rolled back completely. I have protested (against petrol price hike) on the streets. Which other chief minister has taken to the streets? I have the guts. I believe in fighting. We have to take this fight to Delhi," Banerjee told a programme here in South 24 Parganas district.

Banerjee, chief of Trinamool Congress, the second largest constituent of the UPA-2, had hit the roads in Kolkata on Saturday as the first chief minister to lead a protest march against the steep hike in petrol price to put pressure on the Congress-led UPA government on the issue.

 

She had expressed strong displeasure against the 'unilateral and unjust decision' by the Centre and demanded a rollback calling it unacceptable.
