New Delhi, June 19 (ANI):

With the recent price hike in petrol, diesel and LPG by the UPA Government as also in power tariff by the Delhi government, Shiv Sena activists raised their voice of protest in Delhi today.

"We are protesting against the recent price hike in petrol, diesel and LPG by the UPA government, as also the hike in power tariff by the Delhi govt. Before the elections they promised that if they come to power they will eradicate poverty from the country. But now it seems that they do not want to eradicate poverty, except the poor from the country", said Jai Bhagwan Goyel, president, Shiv Sena, Delhi Unit.

Speaking to the press he said that through this protest they want to appeal to the Prime Minister and Congress President Sonia Gandhi to remind them of their promises they made before the election.

He also blamed the present government for the suicides committed by the helpless farmers in Andhra Pradesh.

"I solely blame the UPA govt. for the plight of the poor farmers who committed suicide recently in Andhara Pradesh, the government did nothing for them", added Goyel
