Modi govt destroyed the lives of common folks by selling Rs 400 cylinders for Rs 1,100 in the last nine years: Kharge
The Congress chief has slammed the Centre for reducing LPG prices before elections. In a long post on X, Kharge said, The BJP government should know that after torturing 140 crore Indians for 9 and a half years, handing over "electoral lollipops" will not work. Your sins of a decade will not be washed away. To counter the backbreaking inflation implemented by the BJP, the Congress party for the first time in many states is going to do only ₹ 500 cylinders for the poor. Many states, such as Rajasthan, have already implemented this."
"They didn't see the tears in the eyes of our women all these years and have taken this decision four-five months before (Lok Sabha elections). The reduction (in LPG price) is not enough, more should have been done," says BJD leader Shashi Bhushan Behera.
