Mysuru MP’s claims are misleading, says Cong. spokesperson
Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) spokesperson M. Lakshmana on Monday alleged that the BJP Government at the Centre was planning to privatise supply of cooking gas by implementing the piped gas project.
Addressing a press conference in Mysuru, he said the piped gas project, which was being implemented in Mysuru, had been allotted to 17 different private companies across the country. The price of a 14.2 kg cylinder of cooking gas was already nearing ₹1,000 and the government had begun the process of withdrawing subsidy on LPG. “In the coming days, distribution of gas will be completely privatised”, he said.
