The party alleged the government has burdened the public by escalating the costs of essential commodities, fuel, and electricity. Furthermore, the closure of 1,500 institutions established by the previous BJP government has added fuel to the opposition’s fire.

“Congress government stands accused of breaking promises made during the election campaign. Congress had promised one lakh jobs in the first year while five lakh is five years it has failed to live up to its promises The farming community and the unemployed, are also victims of unfulfilled commitments,” said BJP state president Rajeev Bindal.

“Protest will be held in all the districts which will address issues specific to that region, and prominent party figures are slated to be the main speaker,” he added.
