BJP Yuva Morcha workers were seen on Wednesday evening distributing anti-Congress pamphlets across the city and urging people to join hands with them to teach a lesson to anti-people government.

He said several contingents of Yuva Morcha workers visited shops and hotels across the city and also met auto-rickshaw drivers.

"The workers of BJP will be out on the roads to ensure that people's voice is heard by the Central Government", said DK district BJP president Padmanabha Kottari.

Mr Kottari said: "We want this bandh to be peaceful but we will ensure that people are allowed to convey their feeling of utter disappointment with the way the central government is managing the economy. If the prices of petrol are much lower in neighbouring countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh, why are we made to pay such high prices?"

He said: "People are fed up with inflation. Not just petrol but prices of food and other essentials are going thru the roof. We will ensure that the union government gets the message. We have appealed to all shops and businesses to stay shut on Thursday."
