Kolkata: Left Front holds rally against price rise

Kolkata, Jun 22 (IBNS): Protesting against rising prices of essential commodities and demanding necessary steps from the Centre and the state government to control the price-hike, Kolkata unit of the Left Front held a protest march in Kolkata on Wednesday.

The rally has started from city's downtown Esplanade area and will end at Sealdah Station area.

Several leaders of all Left parties, including CPI-M state secretary Surya Kanta Mishra, LF chairman Biman Basu and CPI-M MP Md. Salim, and a large number of parties's supporters have joined the march here.

After Bengal assembly polls, it is the first rally, where LF's election-ally Congress is not invited.

Following party's Central Committee's meeting, where it was decided not to continue the understanding-based alliance between Left Front and Congress, the Bengal CPI-M has started avoiding the Congress party in there party programmes, political experts said.

Meanwhile, the Congress has called for another protest march separately on the same issue on June 25 (Saturday), where CPI-M and other Left parties have been invited.
