Patnaik condemns Centre’s policies of LPG price rise, rice quota cut
BJD president and Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Thursday slammed the BJP-led central government for raising the price of LPG and slashing the quota of five kg of free rice to beneficiaries.
These decisions are anti-women, claimed Patnaik, who had been supporting the schemes and policies of the Narendra Modi government for a long time.
Hike of the LPG price and deduction of 5 kg rice by the Centre are clearly anti-women policies. I strongly condemn such policies, Patnaik said while addressing a BJD function marking the observance of International Women’s Day.
