Kolkata: UPA ally Trinamool Congress today launched street protests here to demand immediate rollback of fuel price hike, but remained non-committal on BJP's move to bring cut motions to censure the government.
'Let us see the development and we will act as the situation develops,' TC's Chief Whip in Lok Sabha Sudip Bandhopadhay, who led the protests, told PTI when asked whether the party would support BJP's cut motion.
Bandhopadhay, whoseparty faces civic and municipal polls in West Bengal in May-June, said 'in the backof the overall price rise, it is not the appropriate time to increase fuel prices.
'When the budget will be debated we will express our annoyance against the fuel price hike and tell how it will put more burden on the people already hit by soaring prices of essential commodities.'
'The government should not make it a prestige issue and rollback the hike.
