Citizens bearing consequences of PM's foreign policy 'failures', says Cong on LPG price hike

NEW DELHI: (Mar 8) The Congress on Saturday attacked the government over the rise in prices of domestic LPG cylinders and asked why the people of the country were being made to bear the consequences of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's foreign policy "failures".

In a post on X, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said the price of domestic LPG cylinders has been hiked by Rs 60 and claimed that a profit of Rs 115 is earned in commercial LPG.

"First, the benefits of lower international prices were snatched from the public. Now, the people who are already burdened due to inflation are being made to sweat. The Modi government, which boasts 'sab changa si' (all is well) when war breaks out, is helpless in providing adequate oil-gas, fertilizer," he said.
