West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee led a 'padayatra' in Siliguri to protest against the steep hike in fuel prices, including LPG cylinders.

Mamata Banerjee attacked PM Modi from the meeting at Siliguri. She said, “Before the Prime Minister starts campaigning in Bengal, just ask him why the price of cooking gas has gone up so much? Why the price of oil is going up? Why do you have to buy gas for 850 rupees? How much does it cost you? When will you give free gas?”
