Govt Cut Cooking Gas Price Due to I.N.D.I.A Fear: Mamata Banerjee

Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday said that the fear of the Indian National Development Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) has prompted the union government to announce the reduction in cooking gas prices.

She said that the two meetings of the INDIA alliance in the last two months have created panic among the BJP and the NDA-ruled Union government, the fallout of which is the announcement of the reduction in cooking gas prices.

“Till now, only TWO meetings have been held in the past TWO months by the INDIA alliance and today, we see that LPG prices have gone down by Rs. 200. Yeh hai #INDIA ka dum (This is the might of #INDIA),” she wrote on X.

Meanwhile, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has said that the reduction in the price of cooking gas per cylinder is nothing but a lollipop by the union government before the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

He said that the government would not be able to win over the anger of the common people through this lollipop. The next meeting of the INDIA alliance is scheduled in Mumbai on August 31 and September 1.

Mamata Banerjee is slated to arrive at Mumbai a day in advance on August 30. She is also scheduled to attend the dinner hosted jointly by Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Chief Sharad Pawar and the Shiv Sena (UBT) Chief Uddhav Thackeray on the evening of August 31.
