LPG cylinder price hiked for third time in a month; Congress slams government
India TodayThe price of LPG cylinder was hiked by Rs 25 per cylinder from Thursday. Leading the Congress charge against the government, party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said price of a domestic gas cylinder had increased by Rs 200 in the last three months and petrol and diesel prices have moved "towards hitting diesel century". "The pitch of the Modi government, which is batting for billionaire friends on both ends of the economy, is full of high prices and inflation for the common people," Priyanka Gandhi said in a tweet. Calling the Modi government "anti-poor" and "anti-people", Shrinate said, "The government lied about subsidy on LPG cylinder. "But this government, because it has raised prices so often and so frequently, from December to now prices have gone up by Rs 200, the market and the controlled prices are almost the same so there is no subsidy," PTI quoted Shrinate as saying.
