The Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress on Wednesday slammed the central government over increasing the price of domestic LPG cylinders by ₹50 and commercial LPG cylinders ₹350.
Chandigarh Congress president HS Lucky said, “In the last two years alone, the price of domestic LPG cylinder has been hiked by ₹409 by the Narendra Modi-led central government. The PM came to power, promising to reduce inflation in 100 days, but has failed miserably.”
He said the price of a domestic LPG cylinder was ₹400 during the UPA regime and had now increased massively to ₹1,112.50: “The colossal price hike is antithetical to the tall yet hollow promises made by the dispensation.”
