The Congress on Friday (May 1, 2026) slammed the Narendra Modi government over the latest hike in the prices of commercial LPG cylinders, with Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi calling it an “election bill”.
Attacking the spike in commercial LPG prices, Mr Gandhi said the increase – the largest ever in a single day – was proof that the burden of inflation would intensify after the elections.
