BHOPAL: The soaring prices of tomatoes are making the lives of common people more difficult. People from various parts of the country are expressing their protest in various ways. The unique protest held by Congress workers in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, is now being discussed on social media.

The Congress workers reached the market carrying a suitcase and a fake gun. They then bought the tomatoes and kept them in the suitcase. "The price of tomatoes is increasing day by day. We are carrying a gun with us to ensure that thieves do not steal the tomatoes from us," the Congress workers said.

The Congress workers lashed out at the state government as well. They are alleging that inflation has become a hobby for the BJP. For the past few days, one kilogram of tomatoes is being sold at over Rs 100 across the country.
