Puducherry/UNI: The Puducherry unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will take out a procession and picket the legislative assembly here on March 3 to press their demands.
BJP state President V Saminathan in a statement on Saturday said the agitation is to condemn the Congress government headed by V Narayanasamy for its failure to remit cash for free rice into the bank account of the beneficiaries and to do it forthwith.
He said the fund for the provision of free rice for 22 months was allocated in the budget and hence it should be disbursed immediately at the rate of Rs.12,000 for each card holder.
Saminathan said agricultural laborers are without job as the lands were converted for housing purposes and more than 2.5 educated youths were jobless.
Several industrial units were closed and the government do not have any plan to set the things right, he said.
