The Modi government at the Center increased the prices of LPG by 185 percent in nine years. By giving a subsidy of Rs 200 per cylinder, the prices of domestic LPG were reduced by only 17.5 percent. The price of LPG in 2014 was Rs 400, in 2023 it is Rs 1140.
Also, after the subsidy on gas is stopped, people will have to pay Rs 24 lakh more. The Congress government of Rajasthan will provide 12 gas cylinders for Rs 500 per year to 70 lakh poor BPL category families. Due to this the government is getting help of Rs 3300 crore.

According to Saudi Aramco’s LPG prices, the price of LPG in January 2014 was $1010 per metric ton. According to today’s dollar price, one kg was Rs 85. Which should have been 1,204 of 14.2 kg.

Who said what?
What did Mallikarjun Kharge say?
Mallikarjun Kharge wrote, “When the votes started falling, the election gifts started being distributed! It is the cruel Modi government which is looting people of their hard earned money. After the BJP government tortured 140 crore Indians for 9.5 years, giving them election lollipops will not work. Your sins of a decade will not be washed away. In 2024, the anger of the troubled people of the country cannot be reduced by a subsidy of Rs.200. The public has made up its mind. To beat inflation, the only option is to show the way out to the BJP.
