Wondering if the increase in prices of cooking gas was “revenge” for the saffron party’s crushing defeat in the Delhi polls, the Congress on Thursday demanded that the Government should rollback the LPG cylinder price hike.
For its part, the Mahila Congress held a protest against the steep LPG price hike and submitted a memorandum to the Government demanding a rollback of the increased prices.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also took a dig at the BJP over the price hike by tweeting an UPA-era picture of the saffron party’s leaders protesting an increase in prices of cooking gas at the time.
“I agree with these members of the BJP as they protest the astronomical Rs 150 price hike in LPG cylinders,” Rahul tweeted along with the picture of the protesting BJP leaders, including Smriti Irani.
