Former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot on Saturday slammed the Centre over the hike in price of domestic LPG, saying the BJP government is duping the people of the country.
The price of domestic LPG cylinders was raised by Rs 50 on Saturday. With the latest revision, the 14.2 kg domestic cylinder will now cost Rs 999.50/cylinder from Saturday, according to reports.

”Every morning, the misgovernance of the central government brings new difficulties. The price of domestic gas cylinders has increased beyond Rs 1,000. This is like sprinkling salt on the wounds of the people, especially the poor and the middle class,” Pilot tweeted in Hindi.
केंद्र सरकार के कुशासन में हर सुबह नई कठिनाइयां लेकर आती है।
घरेलू गैस सिलेंडर के दाम बढ़ा कर 1000 रुपए के पार पहुंचा दिए गए हैं जो लोगों विशेषकर गरीब व मध्यम वर्ग के ज़ख्मों पर नमक छिड़कने जैसा है।

”The BJP is duping the people of the country by ensuring their income and savings are eclipsed by inflation,” he added.
The Congress also said the central government should roll back the hike in the price of domestic cooking gas cylinder and bring it to the same level as it was for the subsidised cylinder in 2014.
