LPG ‘gift’: Congress takes swipe, says PM desperate

New Delhi, Aug 29: The Congress on Tuesday claimed the slash in LPG prices by the Centre is the result of BJP’s rout in the Karnataka polls and two “highly successful” opposition meetings, and said people should expect more such “gifts” as Prime Minister Narendra Modi becomes “even more desperate to cling on to his chair”.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said when the votes start decreasing, then the election gifts start getting distributed.
“The merciless Modi government, which looted the hard earned money of the people, is now showing feigned goodwill towards the mothers and sisters,” he said in Hindi on X.
For nine and a half years, by selling Rs 400 LPG cylinders for Rs 1,100, they kept destroying the lives of the common people, Kharge said, asking, then why didn’t any “affectionate gift” come to mind. “The Modi government should know that in 2024, the anger of the troubled people of the country cannot be reduced by a subsidy of Rs 200. The fear of INDIA (alliance) is good, Modi ji,” he said.
“The public has made up its mind. The only option is to show the exit door to the BJP to beat inflation,” Kharge said. (PTI)
