Left, UNPA join hands, attack UPA Government on price rise
Sending warning signals to the UPA Government, the Left and UNPA leaders on Saturday came together to attack it on the issue of price rise. They also courted arrest. The leaders, including CPI(M)'s Sitaram Yechury, CPI's D Raja, RSP's Abani Roy, Samajwadi Party General Secretary Amar Singh, were arrested while marching towards the Prime Minister's Office to hand over a memorandum. Making it clear that the issue of price rise would be effectively used to float a common policy platform, the Left and UNPA leaders threatened to intensify their agitation.
