Congress Criticizes Modi Government Over Decrease in Subsidized Ujjwala Refills

The President of the Indian National Congress has raised concerns regarding the frequent increases in Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) prices, highlighting the financial strain on citizens. According to reports, approximately 5.56 crore beneficiaries, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, are struggling to afford their LPG refills due to these rising costs.

The Congress leader emphasized that the ongoing hikes have significantly impacted household budgets, with many families forced to make difficult decisions regarding basic necessities. The party is calling for government intervention to stabilize prices and provide relief to those affected.

In recent years, the price of LPG has been subject to fluctuations influenced by global oil prices and domestic market dynamics. Stakeholders are now urging policymakers to consider subsidy mechanisms or other forms of support to assist vulnerable populations in maintaining access to essential cooking fuel.
