Hyderabad, Sept 20: YSR Congress Party has called upon its rank and file to make Thursday’s bandh successful by conductiing Rasta Rokos and protests across the state.

The party has called for the protests opposing the hefty increase in diesel prices and capping of subsidized cooking gas supply. In a statement here, the YSRCP said the  Government's decision is not in the interest of the general public.

"The party is also opposing the opening of doors for FDI (foreign direct investment) in multi brand retail sector," the statement said adding Government’s decision would lead to the annihilation of the indigenous retail trade and result in unemployment.

The party has demanded the Centre to withdraw its anti-people’s decisions immediately.
