Mulayam Singh manhandled as he unveils Lohia's statue in UP "The party will stage demonstrations and dharna against deregulation of petroleum products at all the state headquarters across the country on July 15," Mayawati announced in a meeting of BSP leaders from different states. The BSP supremo had already announced that the party would stage demonstrations and dharna in all 71 districts in UP on July 6. "Continuous hike in prices of petrol, diesel, LPG and kerosene and the Congress-led UPA government decision to deregulate petrol is completely against the interest of the common people," Mayawati alleged. During the two-day meeting which ended today, she reviewed functioning of the organisation in different states. "Congress slogan of party's hand with aam aadmi has turned out to be a farce," Mayawati alleged. She said through demonstrations and dharna, party would demand that petroleum products be brought under government control again.
