Oppn's 'Vishwaguru' Taunt at Modi Govt over LPG Price Hike, Says Can’t Shield Citizens from Shocks

The Opposition has criticized the government following a recent increase in domestic LPG gas prices, with oil marketing companies raising rates by Rs 29 per cylinder

The Opposition has cornered the government on the recent price hike in the domestic LPG gas prices, after oil marketing companies increased the rate by Rs 29 per cylinder. Hitting out at the Centre, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) said that a government that boasts of being a 'Vishwaguru' cannot shield its own citizens from repeated price shocks.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, the TMC said, "Rs 29 more for a domestic LPG cylinder. This is the @BJP4India model: when global crises emerge, the poor keep worrying while the rich keep thriving. A government that boasts of being a “Vishwaguru” cannot shield its own citizens from repeated price shocks. Instead of planning ahead and protecting households, @narendramodi’s government keeps passing the burden onto ordinary families."
