Union Minister Rameswar Teli on Sunday took a dig at the Opposition Congress in Madhya Pradesh over its poll promise of providing LPG cylinders at ₹500 each, and said even a "paper cylinder" cannot be made available at that price.
The Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas was talking to reporters at Khargone.
"The Congress will make such announcements as it is not in the government. They will say this to come to power. I have seen their big posters promising an LPG cylinder at ₹500. An empty cylinder costs around ₹700-800. Not even a kagaz ka cylinder (paper cylinder) will be available at ₹500," Mr. Teli said.
