Jharkhand Congress Holds Protests and Signature Drive Against Fuel Price HikesPreviousNext

The Jharkhand Pradesh Congress Committee organized a signature campaign and protest march across Ranchi to oppose rising petrol and diesel prices. Led by State President Keshav Mahto Kamlesh, hundreds of party workers and citizens participated, highlighting concerns over inflation and increased transportation costs affecting middle-class families, farmers, and small traders. Despite falling global crude prices, fuel rates continue to rise, which the Congress attributes to central government policies. The campaign aims to intensify to pressure the government for action.
