Despite many protest from people, organisations and political outfits against the BJP led NDA government over price hike of the essential commodities, the Karnataka Congress rushed down heavily on the government describing it as anti-people, shameless, thicked skinned etc.

The Congress legislators who reached the Vidhan Soudha to attend the Legislative Session on the first day in bullock cart, second day in bicycles and have reached the soudha on the last of the session on Friday in horse cart to record their protest on sky mountings fuel prices.Former CM Siddaramaiah said the Modi government consuming blood of the people by hiking the rate of the essential commodities, Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai shamelessly defending the price hike. Petrol rate crossed Rs 100 and diesel Rs 90 per liter, middle class people were pledging their gold for money to run the families, the life of whose salary below Rs 15,000 turned bad to worst, wage class are straggling for ever meal. The shameless and irresponsible government giving careless answers to the questions asked at the session.

The BJP late PM Vajpayee had arrived Parliament to attend session in a bullock card to protest against fuel hike of just 7 paise per liter when Congress was ruling. Now, Congress protest was being critisised by the same BJP, he said.
