AGARTALA, Sep 28 (TIWN): After Sugar price was hiked with Rs. 6 per in April-2016, again Tripura Finance Minister Bhanulal Saha announced that more 4 rupees to hike against the present sugar price.

Condemning the state govt. BJP said, "Is it the poor people’s Govt. who is rising prices of sugar so frequently? BJP also protested against the price hike announcement in the Puja month". 

It is to be mentioned here that the State Government here in Tripura had announced about the increase in the price of sugar by Rs. 6 in every kilogram in the ration shops, from April 1.

Although the sudden price hike has posed a threat to the common people, but Govt.’s decision has not changed.

However, with the announcement by the state Govt. Tripura BJP protested massively against the decision of the state govt. BJP staged protest in front of the food and civil supplies office at Gurkhabasti and the representative team of the state BJP also placed deputation to Food director and demanded to lessen the price of the sugar.

Then it was on March 14 that  as a part of the state wide movement against price-hike, BJP again came into mass protest and in various subdivision, the party held this protest rally.

BJP on that day warned to decrease the price of sugar within 48 hours, but it’s to be mentioned here that the state BJP has crossed maximum time duration with more than 2 weeks, but the govt. here didn’t bothered to look into BJP’s issue.

But nothing happened on that time as sugar price remained as it is on that time, and now although BJP is protesting but it’s to be seen how far it will affect on Govt’s decision.
