On Friday evening, the City Congress in Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh) held a strong protest against rapidly rising inflation and unemployment. The march was led by Mukesh Bhati, the City Congress Committee president, who accused the BJP-led Union government of causing a "tsunami of inflation" that has made life difficult for ordinary people.
Bhati alleged that the government had eliminated employment opportunities and disrupted the lives of citizens through unchecked inflation, suggesting that the Modi administration was only serving its corporate allies. If essential daily-use items' prices were not reduced, Bhati warned, the Congress party would launch a statewide agitation to address the issue.
During the protest, women Congress workers expressed their anger by banging plates in their hands. On Friday, Congress workers also staged a sit-in in support of Rahul Gandhi's protest against alleged police brutality against a student. At the Ganesh Chowk, Congress members gathered in solidarity, criticizing the Modi government for allegedly lathi-charging a promising student, firing tear-gas shells, and using a pellet gun.
The student lost an eye and suffered serious injuries. Bhati described the police's failure to register an FIR lodged by the injured student as the most unfortunate aspect of the incident.
