Youth Cong stages stir outside Irani’s residence against price hike of domestic LPG cylinders

The Indian Youth Congress (IYC) staged a protest outside Union minister Smriti Irani’s residence here on Wednesday against the price hike of domestic LPG cylinders.

Several IYC workers, including the outfit’s national general secretary Puran Chand Coco Padhi, co-incharge Khushbu Sharma Mangla and Delhi unit president Rannvijay Singh Lochav, took part in the protest, according to a statement.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi will neither allow people to eat food nor allow them to cook. When Smriti Irani was in the opposition, she used to take to the streets even on a minimum fuel price hike. But now, when there is all-round inflation, she is silent,” IYC national president Srinivas BV said.
