As part of the Congress party’s Jan Jagaran Abhiyan across the country against rising inflation, Sangareddy legislator and TPCC working president Jayaprakash Reddy led a huge rally in the district on Saturday.

Accompanied by Congress leaders of the district and people’s representatives, Mr. Jagga Reddy charged the BJP government with enjoying increasing the fuel prices even as people suffered a lot due to falling incomes in the pandemic. “Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi have been raising this issue in Parliament but it fell on deaf ears of the BJP government,” he said.

Accusing the TRS government of equally failing in controlling prices, he said that the State government has not reduced VAT on fuel prices when other States did the same to lessen the burden on the poor and middle class.
