Earlier in the day, Congress staged demonstrations at 29 spots in Mumbai against the rise in prices of petrol and diesel and other essential commodities.
Speaking at the occasion, Jagtap said, "The hike in fuel prices shows the Centre's anti-poor stand. Petrol now costs Rs 107 per litre while a cooking gas cylinder costs Rs 950. The common man is worried about his survival. The Congress held protests to highlight the anger of the common man".
