Tiruvottiyur: Members of the All India Democratic Women’s Association (AIDWA) staged a protest near the Ajax bus stop in Tiruvottiyur, condemning the Union BJP government for raising the price of domestic LPG cylinders by ₹50.
Impact on Poor and Middle-Class Families
Protesters highlighted that the price hike has severely affected the livelihoods of poor and middle-class families, making it increasingly difficult for them to manage household expenses. They called the price increase a direct blow to the stomachs of common people.
Key Demands Raised
- Immediate rollback of the LPG price hike.
- Assurance of affordable essential commodities for all citizens.
Voices from the Protest
Several women, workers, and social activists joined the demonstration, raising slogans to protect the livelihoods of vulnerable sections of society. "The government must prioritize the needs of the common people instead of burdening them with constant price hikes," said one of the protestors.
Public Reaction
The protest has garnered widespread support from the community, with many expressing their frustration over the government’s policies that disproportionately affect low-income households.
AIDWA’s Stand
AIDWA leaders emphasized that the price hike is an unjust burden on families already struggling with rising inflation. They urged the government to reconsider its decision and take immediate steps to ensure economic stability for the masses.
The protest served as a wake-up call, highlighting the pressing need for policies that address the concerns of ordinary citizens.
