The BJD has targeted the Narendra Modi-led BJP Government against its decision to hike domestic LPG price by Rs 50.
At a Press meet here on THursday, BJD MLA Soumya Ranjan Patnaik recalled Modi’s famous slogan ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ before the BJP came in power in 2014 and Centre’s ‘Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana’ (PMUY).
“We have been supporting almost all decisions of the Centre for implementation of welfare schemes. But we cannot support the LPG price hike.
In 2014, the LPG price was Rs 410. Now with the hike by Rs 50, it costs more than Rs 1,100. The price rose by three folds in eight to nine years, Patnaik said.
