Bantwal, Jul 26: The Panemangalore and Bantwal Mahila Congress staged protests in front of the mini Vidhana Soudha here opposing the price rises of essential commodities of daily use and the anti-people policies of the union government.

Former minister B Ramanath Rai said that the government was playing with the lives of the people since 2014. "The double engine government at the centre and the state have only increased the prices but not understood the pain of the people. I condemn the government which has raised the prices. Women are directly facing the consequences of price rises,” he said.

KPCC chief secretary Mamatha Gatti said that Congress party has taught the people how to live but BJP is snatching away their livelihood.
