Mangalore: BJP Leaders of the district protested against the petrol price hike on Bharat Bundh day by organizing a bicycle rally from the BJP office.

Several leaders including MLC Capt Ganesh Karnik and MP Nalin Kumar Kateel rode bicycles from the party office. The rally passed through Bunts Hostel, Jyothi, KS Rao Road and then returned to the BJP Office.

Speaking on the occasion, Nalin said the success of the bundh has proved that the people are disillusioned with the Union Government which has increased fuel prices on several occasions.

He said the government should either reduce petrol prices or quit.  He further added the BJP leaders will continue to ride bicycles until petrol prices were reduced.

MLC Capt Ganesh Karnik also spoke on the occasion.
