Indian Youth Congress protests outside Smriti Irani's residence

The Indian Youth Congress on Saturday organized a protest against rising inflation, petrol, diesel and gas cylinder prices outside the residence of Union Minister for Women and Child Development, Smriti Irani, in New Delhi. Hundreds of Congress workers gathered and shouted slogans against the Central government. Srinivas B.V., National President of the Indian Youth Congress, said, "When the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was in opposition, Smriti Irani was seen on the streets protesting Rs 5 hike in petrol, diesel and LPG prices but today when there is inflation all over the country, she is silent that is why today the Youth Congress has tried to awaken her from slumber." "Petrol has crossed Rs 100, diesel has crossed Rs 90 in many parts of the country, and the prices of gas cylinders are increasing day-by-day, the shameful thing is that despite such open loot, the BJP government is blaming the Congress and trying to run away from the issue."
