The Congress party has alleged that the BJP has again increased its prices by promising free cylinders in the elections. The party says that as a gift of Holi, the public got a jumla from the BJP. Congress criticized the increase in cylinder prices by Rs 50. The UP Congress party took a dig at the decision of the BJP government by tweeting.
Many people have also commented in favor and against this. Rohini Singh @rohini_sghA user named, wrote, “Thank you to the Government of India for increasing the prices of petrol, diesel and gas etc. 11 days after the elections are over. A message must have gone to the public. The price hike for 11 days has nothing to do with the election, there are ‘international reasons’ behind it. There is a wave of happiness in the country after this much awaited decision.
Rannvijay Singh@ranvijaylive The user of the name wrote, “The game of petrol diesel started with 80 paise, congratulations” On the other hand some people are telling the protestors wrong. Sanjay Hindu (Bhauwala) @SanjayBhauwalaSaid, “10 people were burnt alive in Bengal, but the gang that says that hate will spread from Kashmir files is silent! Those who cried over the price of petrol, who used to lower Modi the whole day, did not dare to speak a word against Mamta.
In fact, the prices of petrol and diesel were increased by 80 paise per liter on Tuesday. At the same time, the price of domestic LPG has increased by Rs 50 per cylinder. Sources gave this information. In this way, the four-and-a-half-month moratorium on revising the rates of petrol, diesel due to election activities ended. After the price hike, the price of petrol in Delhi will now be Rs 96.21 per liter from Rs 95.41 earlier, while the price of diesel has increased from Rs 86.67 per liter to Rs 87.47.
With this, the price of non-subsidised, 14.2 kg LPG cylinder has been increased to Rs 949.50 in the national capital. The LPG rate was last revised on 6 October 2021. At the same time, the prices of petrol and diesel were stable since November 4.
The price of LPG had increased by close to Rs 100 per cylinder between July and October 2021. Despite the slowdown caused by the pandemic and then the Russia-Ukraine conflict as raw material costs rose, both LPG and automotive fuel prices remained stable. Non-subsidised LPG is the one that consumers buy at subsidized or below market rates after exhausting their quota of 12 cylinders.
