Against price rise: BJP cadres staging a protest in Madurai on Friday.

MADURAI: Members of the Bharatiya Janata Party held a novel agitation here on Friday to protest the recent revision of prices of petroleum products.

They carried a two-wheeler on a bullock cart and conducted a mock funeral of liquefied petroleum gas cylinders as a mark of protest. The members, led by Sasiraman, president of the Madurai urban district unit, demanded an immediate roll back of prices of petrol, diesel and LPG.
