Youth Congress workers in Kerala took part in a legislative march against the fuel cess imposed in the state budget.
The march ended in a conflict with the police and resulted in the burning of a bike by the protesters.
State General Secretary of Youth Congress Binu Chullil sustained a serious eye injury during the scuffle with the police.
The police used water cannons to control the situation and arrested several leaders and activists who blocked the road.
Opposition leader VD Satheesan inaugurated the march and vowed to intensify the protest against the budget, which he deemed anti-people.
He stated that he will not back down until the proposals are withdrawn.
