The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) strongly condemns the massive hike in the prices of petrol and diesel announced by the Modi government.
This will lead to the cascading of the inflationary spiral imposing unprecedented burdens on the working people, once again in a big way.
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) calls upon the people to protest against this latest imposition of burdens on their livelihood.
