New Delhi, 22nd March. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday slammed the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party over the hike in domestic LPG price, calling it “another gift of inflation” for the people after the polls in five states.
Petrol and diesel prices were increased by 80 paise per litre while domestic LPG prices were increased by Rs 50 per cylinder, after a pause of four-and-a-half months.
Akhilesh tweeted in Hindi, “Another gift of inflation from the BJP government for the public… LPG cylinder in Lucknow is close to Rs 1,000 and in Patna above Rs 1,000! Elections over, inflation begins.”
Samajwadi Party (SP) MP Jaya Bachchan also criticized the Centre over the increase in fuel prices and said that Akhilesh Yadav had repeatedly said in his campaign that the price is going to increase after the polls.
“This is how the government does… Akhilesh Yadav has repeatedly said in his campaign that you people should be alert, the price is going to increase after the elections. Don’t know who brought them (BJP) to power,” said Jaya Bachchan.
