The BJP Government is burning the pocket of the common man by hiking fuel and LPG rates. The petrol, Diesel and LPG rates are on the rise.
It looks like the LPG Cylinder rate will cross the Rs 1000 mark. The subsidy being extended is also very less. The petrol has already reached Rs 100 per litre.
While the salaries are coming down, the daily expenses for the housewife is mounting. The price of domestic liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders has been hiked by Rs 25.
After the hike, a 14.2-kilogram cooking gas cylinder will cost Rs 884.50 in Delhi. LPG cylinder rates have increased by an equal amount in other parts of the country.
State-run oil companies have increased cooking cylinder prices by Rs 25 for the third straight month. LPG cylinder price was earlier hiked by Rs 25 in July and August, respectively. In just 3 months, domestic cooking gas cylinder rates have gone up by Rs 75.
This is a big blow to citizens, especially those from the financially weak sections. Higher LPG gas cylinder prices will hurt millions of poor households as the government had gradually lowered support after the elimination of LPG subsidy last year in May.
