Congress Media and Publicity Department Chairperson Pawan Khera on Saturday criticised Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri over the hike in LPG cylinder prices.
The price of domestic LPG cylinders has been increased with effect from Saturday, March 7. The cost of a 14.2-kg household cooking gas cylinder has risen by Rs 60 across the country, while the price of a 19-kg commercial LPG
cylinder has been increased by Rs 115.
Pawan Khera wrote on X, “Yesterday, @HardeepSPuri said: ‘Our priority is to ensure availability of affordable and sustainable fuel for our citizens, and we are doing it comfortably.’
Today, domestic LPG prices have been hiked by Rs 60, and commercial cylinder prices by Rs 115. Never believe a word of what Hardeep Singh Puri says.”
