LPG prices hiked by Rs 50 within 7 weeks: Congress slams BJP, says Modi government proving costly for common man
The Congress party today slammed the Modi government for the hike in prices of domestic gas cylinders for the second time within two months. Hitting out at the Modi government, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi today said that the BJP government’s collection scheme is flourishing by selling the dream of Ujjwala yojana. An unsubsidised LPG cylinder now costs Rs 859.50 in the national capital. The government has also discontinued DBTL subsidies per cylinder to many consumers since May 2020.
“On 1st July, the Modi government increased LPG price by Rs 25 and again hiked the prices by Rs 25 on 17th August. They sell the dream of Ujjwala while the collection scheme of the BJP government is flourishing by increasing the price of LPG every month,” said Priyanka.
