Congress slams BJP over Commercial LPG Price Hike Of Rs 993

The Congress on Friday attacked the BJP over the hike in price of commercial LPG cylinder, saying the ruling party’s regard for the common Indians’ suffering is limited to election gimmicks, after which they are left to their own devices.

The opposition party also said that in the three months since the Iran war began, the government should have prepared a solid plan to shield ordinary Indians from the price shocks, instead of passing on the financial burden.

In a post on X, Congress general secretary K C Venugopal said, “Just as the election cycle concluded, the Modi government wasted no time to increase prices of LPG



cylinders.” 

“A whopping increase of nearly Rs 1000 on commercial cylinders will affect crores of Indians who rely on food from small eateries for sustenance. Similarly, crores of small food businesses will have to bear the burden of this hike,” he said.

The BJP’s regard for the common Indians’ suffering is limited to election gimmicks, after which they are left to their own devices, Venugopal said.

“In the three months since the Iran war began, the government should have prepared a solid plan to shield ordinary Indians from the price shocks, instead of passing on the financial burden,” he said.
