Salient points of Sh. Rajnath Singh's
Press briefing at Bhubneshwar

• The Congress led Central Govt's recent price rise of petrol & diesel has given another blow to already aggrieved common man.

• This increase will have further cascading effect on already high prices of essential commodities.

• Though the left parties are shedding crocodile tears on petroleum hike but the polices of UPA supported by left has brought actual tear in eyes of common man.

• This has exposed the actual character of Congress, who fought the last election on the slogan of common man along with the dual character of left parties. Who are the selfstyled champions of common man. During the budget session BJP had raised the question that why Finance Minister has not mentioned the recommendation of Rangrajan Committee at that time. BJP was apprehensive that the Govt. will impose price hike from the back door. Now our apprehension has come true.

• It is natural now to say that the price rise has become a natural indicator of Congress rule.

• The Left Front should make clear that whether they are with Common Man or with Power.

• The tendency of left party opposing Congress out side the parliament, but supporting inside the parliament is betrayal of people of India.

• BJP will not tolerate this, therefore from 7th June BJP will launch nationwide programme of road blocks (Chakajjam) from 11 A.M. to 1 P.M. but the BJP workers are to spare the school going children, ambulances and dead bodies from the inconveniences.
