Hyderabad:
Leaving aside his bullet-proof vehicle, TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday took a bullock cart ride to the state Assembly as a mark of protest against the hike in prices of petrol and diesel.
The bullock cart ride was part of the protest organised by TDP, CPI and CPM from the NTR Ghat to the state Assembly in which MLAs and MLCs belonging to opposition parties rode bicycles and followed Naidu.
After riding the bullock cart for over half-a-kilometre, Naidu, who is Leader of Opposition in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly, switched over to a bicycle and pedalled his way to the legislature building.
"The hike in prices of petrol and diesel has made life of common man miserable. What growth is the Prime Minister talking about when life of common people has been pushed into such misery?" Naidu asked.
The TDP chief strongly denounced Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's assertion that the hike in petrol prices would not be rolled back under any circumstances.
Lone BJP MLA G Kishan Reddy came to the Assembly pushing a motorbike saying that the price of petrol has become too much to bear.
