Rahul Gandhi targets Centre, PM Modi over LPG price hike, calls it 'Modi Maya'

After oil marketing companies on Thursday hiked the price of domestic LPG cylinders by Rs 25.5 each per 14.2 kg cylinder, former Congress President Rahul Gandhi targetted the Centre and Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the price hike, calling it 'Modi Maya.' 

Rahul took to Twitter and said, "Such has been the effect of 'Modi Maya'. Only the rates of the 'jumlas' have fallen."

On June 28, Rahul chose Hindi as the language once again, and advised the Centre over fuel price hike and said, "A small part of the petrol-diesel tax collection can be compensated to the families of COVID victims - this is their need. The Modi government should not back down from this opportunity of public assistance in a disaster."
