Presiding over the dharna Devendra Bhushan Nishad, Sanjay Yadav and Rajesh Singh Sainthwar said that after the formation of the Congress-led UPA Government, the prices of essential commodities shot up without any check.
They said that the anti people policies of the Congress-led government and their bias attitude towards the SP-led state government compounded the problems.
They demanded special economic package for UP as per demand of Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav and criticised the Union Government for adopting double standard in allocation of power to different states.
They said import of wheat in name of low wheat production was a conspiracy to damage the farmers.
