Lucknow
Jan. 26: Encouraged by the overwhelming public response to the Samajwadi agitation on price rise, the Bharatiya Janata Party has also decided to launch a statewide agitation against price rise.
The party will be organising a state-level rally in Lucknow on February 25 and on January 31 and February 1. The BJP will form human chains in all districts in the state to protest against spiralling prices.
"To muster support for the state-level rally and to create public awareness on the issue, the party will hold 15 meetings in every Assembly segment from February 1 to 25. We plan to hold a total of about 5,000 meetings in the state. This is being done to mobilise party cadres and prepare them for the party’s agitational posture," said a senior party functionary.
BJP state vice-president Hriday Narain Dixit, meanwhile, said that the Centre and state governments were equally responsible for the unprecedented increase in prices of essential commodities. "While the Centre is responsible for pursuing wrong economic policies, the state government is responsible for allowing hoarding and black-marketing of essential commodities," he said.
The BJP is finally trying to shed off it complacency and get into the active mode in UP with this agitation. The proposed rally in Lucknow on February 25 is being held after a long gap and the party wants it to be a grand show.
"We want to give a message that the party may have been down but it is not yet out. We want to bounce back with renewed vigour and energise our cadres. We hope to get the BJP president Nitin Gadkari in Lucknow for this rally and some other senior party leaders too," said the party functionary.
