The youth Congress activists today gathered outside the Jammu press club where they set on fire the effigy of the ruling BJP government while raising anti-BJP slogans.
"See the prices of essential commodities are sky-rocketing, a common man is unable to make his ends meet, this government which made several promises before coming to power has miserably failed to control the price hike", a youth Congress activist said.
He said that the prices of onion, pulses and rice have gone beyond the reach of common man in the country.
The activists protested for sometime and later disbursed on their own.
