Mamata Banerjee credits LPG price cut to INDIA alliance, says only two meetings made it possible
New Delhi: In what has come as a sharp reaction to the Union government’s come to slash the prices of LPG cylinders ahead of the elections, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday claimed that the move was a result of INDIA alliance’s meetings in the last two months.
In her tweet, she subtly connected the occurrence to the influence of the "#INDIA" alliance, emphasizing the potential impact of this price adjustment on the ongoing political discourse.
Asserting that the Union government has panicked by the united show of the stakeholders of the INDIA alliance, she stated that with only two meetings in the last two months, the alliance has managed to force union government to slash prices of the LPG cylinders in the country.
The government on Tuesday slashed the prices of LPG cylinders by Rs. 200 seemingly in response to the Congress party's commitment of providing cheaper LPG in the upcoming assembly elections, particularly in states like Madhya Pradesh.
Taking to her Twitter handle, Mamata Banerjee wrote “Till now, only TWO meetings have been held in the past TWO months by the INDIA alliance and today, we see that LPG prices have gone down by Rs. 200.”
She concluded the tweet by adding ‘This is the power of #INDIA’.
Till now, only TWO meetings have been held in the past TWO months by the INDIA alliance and today, we see that LPG prices have gone down by Rs. 200.
