Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Tuesday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to stop "favouring friends" and start serving people reeling under high inflation.
He highlighted that the Congress government in Rajasthan is providing gas cylinders at less than half the price provided by the Centre.
Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Monday announced at a rally in Alwar that the state government will provide Rs 500 subsidy on every LPG gas cylinder to the poor people of the state under the Ujjwala scheme.
"Rajasthan's Congress government's big announcement of providing gas cylinders for Rs 500 -- less than half the price of the Central government. Mr prime minister, stop favouring your 'friends' and serve the people hit hard by high inflation," Mr Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.
₹500 में गैस सिलेंडर देने का राजस्थान की कांग्रेस सरकार का बड़ा ऐलान - केंद्र सरकार की कीमतों के आधे से भी कम दाम में।
प्रधानमंत्री जी, ‘मित्रों' को मेवा खिलाना बंद कीजिए, महंगाई से त्रस्त जनता की सेवा कीजिए।
