The Maharashtra Congress has organised a protest march outside the Raj Bhavan here on Friday against the Union government over rising inflation, imposition of Goods and Services Tax on essential items, unemployment and the contentious Agnipath military recruitment scheme.

Addressing a press conference on Thursday, Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole said inflation was skyrocketing due to the arbitrary policies of the Narendra Modi government at the Centre, which was piling on the misery for people by imposing GST on essential items.
