On Tuesday, Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, the president of the Punjab Congress party, made a notable statement by riding a bullock cart from his residence in Amar Colony, Muktsar, to the BEd College on Chak Bir Road to cast his vote in the municipal council elections. This 1 km journey was not just a means of transportation but a symbolic protest against the rising fuel prices under the BJP-led central government. Warring expressed that the recent increase of nearly ₹7.5 per litre in fuel prices over the past 11 days has significantly impacted the common people, stating, "People are the real sufferers." He pointed out that as fuel prices continue to soar, many individuals may find themselves unable to afford modern vehicles, potentially forcing them to revert to traditional modes of transport. Accompanied by his wife, Warring's action aimed to draw attention to the economic hardships faced by citizens amid rising costs.
