The state-run Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) on Wednesday hiked the prices of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) gas cylinder of 14.2 kg by over Rs 140 per cylinder.
Speaking to ETV Bharat, senior Congress leader and All India Mahila Congress president Sushmita Dev said, "This comes as a rude shock and a big blow to the common person of India. This government is completely insensitive and senseless. This is the sixth time since August 2019 that the price of the LPG has been increased. The common people of our country are reeling under unemployment, the economy is in shambles still the government increased the prices for the sixth time within the span of six months."
Bashing the government further, She said, "This is totally unfair to the common people and Mahila Congress is going to protest against this."
The state-run Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) on Wednesday hiked the prices of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) gas cylinder of 14.2 kg by over Rs 140 per cylinder.
