Opposition demands withdrawal of govt's decision of allowing Oil Companies to raise prices of subsidised LPG cylinder

Opposition parties in the Lok Sabha have demanded withdrawal of government's decision of allowing Oil Marketing Companies to raise the prices of subsidised cooking gas, LPG by four rupees per cylinder every month. <br/><br/>Raising the issue in the Zero Hour today, K C Venugopal of Congress criticised the government's move of eliminating the subsidies adding that it will affect the common people. He said, while the crude oil price is falling in the international market, the government is raising the price of LPG cylinder. Sudip Bandyopadhyay of TMC said that on account of introduction of GST, the LPG price was hiked by 32 rupees per cylinder. <br/><br/>He said, the decision will put an additional burden on common man and should be withdrawn. Later members belonging to Congress, TMC and Left staged a walk out.
