Congress party activists demonstrate with a domestic gas cylinder during protest against Modi government after hike in fuel and LPG prices, in Beawar, Rajasthan, India, February 15, 2021. Protesters chanting slogans against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his ruling BJP party.
Prices of LPG gas cylinders increased from today. The price of a 14.2 kg domestic gas cylinder increased by 50 rupees. After the price increase, the new price of a 14.2 kg cylinder is now Rupees 769 per cylinder. The increase in the price of LPG has come at a time when the prices of petrol and diesel in India are at an all-time high. The price of Petrol has reached beyond Rupees 100 per liter in many cities of the country.
Attacking the government over increased prices of LPG cylinders, Youth Congress President Bhupendra Panwar said that the Modi government, already determined to do brutality with farmers, has now decided to break the back of every housewife and common man. He said that the price of petrol and diesel has gone beyond Rupees 100 per liter in many cities of the country. But now even the price of LPG is being increased continuously which is unacceptable.
