Hyderabad, Aug 07:-
Resenting the rise in prices of essential commodities , the Telugu Desam Party MLAs staged a protest in front of the Assembly on Friday. In a novel way they staged the protest by setting up a model market at Gun Park which is in front of the Assembly. While some MLAs acted like vegetable vendors and kirana shop owners others played the role of customers. All this drama took place during the tea break of Assembly sessions. Some of the MLAs have put on garlands of vegetables and redgram dal packets.
Shouting anti-Government slogans the TDP MLAs who acted like customers denounced the policies of the Government.
They further criticized the Government saying that the skyrocketing prices of essential commodities have hit the common man very badly. Traders are creating an artificial scarcity of essential commodities and jacking up their prices and diverting them to the black market with the support of ruling party leaders, the MLAs alleged.
