Empty gas cylinders at scrapyard prompt Congress attacks on Centre’s Ujjwala scheme

Visuals of empty LPG cylinders at a scrapyard in Madhya Pradesh prompted Congress to attack the Modi government’s Ujjwala scheme, with the Opposition saying that people had sold off the cylinders because of the surge in prices.

MP Congress chief and former CM Kamal Nath tweeted a video clip of empty gas cylinders dumped at a scrapyard in the state’s Bhind district.

“In Bhind, Madhya Pradesh, the gas cylinders and stoves of the Modi government’s most publicized Ujjwala scheme are being sold in a pile of straw. This situation is of the state where the Home Minister of the country had started the second phase of the Ujjwala scheme in Jabalpur,” Nath wrote.
