The Hindu
It accuses govt of being ‘insensitive’ and distorting household budgets even during a pandemic
The Congress on Wednesday hit out at the Narendra Modi government on the latest ₹ 25 hike in LPG cylinder prices and accused the government of being ‘insensitive’ and distorting household budgets even during a pandemic. Separately, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra alleged on Twitter that the government’s “collection scheme” is flourishing with regular monthly increase of LPG prices. She said, “On July 1, Modi ji’s government increased the price of LPG by ₹ 25 and on August 17 again increased it by ₹ 25. By showing the dream of Ujjwala, the 'collection scheme' of the BJP government is flourishing by increasing the prices of LPG every month”. In a Facebook post, former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi modified an earlier slogan of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on corruption Na Khaunga Na Khane Doonga [Will neither eat nor let anyone eat]. “The truth of empty rhetoric is now before the people. Development has moved in reverse direction in the oast 7 years,” he wrote.
