LPG price hike: Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar criticises Centre
Belgaum: Women and Child Development Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar has strongly criticised the central government’s decision to increase the price of commercial gas cylinders from Rs 2,162 to Rs 3,153, an increase of Rs 991, calling it an anti-people move.
She said such steep price hikes would affect households and businesses and alleged that decisions taken after elections reflect a disregard for public concerns.
She added that the price increase would have a direct impact on the hotel industry and further burden traders already facing inflationary pressures. This, she said, would likely lead to higher food prices, affecting common people.
Hebbalkar said the Centre was making daily life more difficult through repeated price hikes and urged the government to withdraw the increase and adopt pro-people policies.
