UPA ally Mamata Banerjee has hit the streets of Kolkata to protest against the steep petrol price hike effected on Wednesday. The West Bengal Chief Minister is marching from her Assembly constituency of Jadavpur to Hazra in south Kolkata. Her close aide and Union Railway Minister Mukul Roy did his bit on Thursday, participating in a Trinamool Congress protest in the city.
