The Modi government had increased the price of gas cylinders by Rs 50 in 15 days. In 2014, during the Congress government, the cylinder was Rs 400, which has become close to Rs 900 today. Prices of food items and petrol and diesel continue. BJP is trying to fill the treasury of the capitalists by cutting the pockets of the people.
Transport Minister Pratap Singh Kachariawas said in a statement that the decision of the central government to hike another Rs 25 for domestic LPG cylinder and Rs 75 for commercial cylinder is incomprehensible. He said with the latest hike the cost of a domestic cylinder would be Rs 888. He alleged that BJP leaders have become deaf as they cannot hear the cries of people who are suffering from inflation and inflation. He said that now the prices of petrol and LPG have gone beyond the tolerance level. He said that the central government has recovered more than Rs 22 lakh crore from the hike in petrol prices.
He said that the Center had increased the prices of LPG even during the Corona pandemic and it had to give its account as to how the money collected was utilised. He said that the government has abolished the subsidy on petroleum products and made it at the market price.
