Speaking to presspersons, BJP State Working Committee member M P Sunil Subramani and BJP district unit General Secretary Napanda Ravikalappa said the UPA government has increased the price of petroleum products several times, thus putting the commonman into hardship.
Kodagu district Chamber of Commerce, Private Bus Owners Association, Auto drivers Association, schools and college management, banks and other organisations should support the bundh.
The hike in the price of petroleum products shows the administrative failure of the UPA government. The hilly region like Kodagu do not get kerosene, they added.
