Mamata Banejree to hold rally at jantar mantar today
New Delhi: Trinamool Congress leader and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee lead a demonstration on Monday against “anti-people” decisions of the Centre.
“It is an unprecedented decision by Banerjee to hold a rally at Jantar Mantar in the national capital to press the Centre to review its decisions on FDI in retail, cap on subsidised LPG and diesel price hike,” Trinamool Congress MP KD Singh said.
He said the demonstration was part of the party’s resolve to show solidarity with the ‘aam admi’ who has been hurt the most by such decisions.
In her Facebook post, Banerjee had recently said: “Let us fight the battle boldly and unitedly. In a democracy, people are supreme. Our voice is the voice of the people. We must raise our voice, so that the government must reconsider.”
She said the party’s fight for the cause of common people continued with the help of ‘Maa, Mati, Manush’ throughout the country.
TMC, which has 19 members in the Lok Sabha, pulled out its six ministers from the government on September 21 and withdrew support to the Congress-led UPA on these issues.
