Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on May 8 stepped up his attack on the government over the hike in the price of domestic LPG cylinder, and said only his party governs for the welfare of poor and middle class families.
Cooking gas LPG prices were on Saturday hiked by ₹50 per cylinder, the second increase in rates in just over six weeks following the firming of international energy rates.
Non-subsidised LPG now costs ₹999.50 per 14.2-kg cylinder in the national capital, up from ₹949.50 previously, according to a price notification of state-owned fuel retailers.
