  • NDA constituent JDU has demanded a rollback of the hike in the prices of LPG cylinders.
  • Criticizing the hike in the prices of LPG cylinders, JDU's Principal General Secretary KC Tyagi said, "Never before has there been such a hike in the last one year - where is the petrol (price)."
  • He added, "The hike made should be withdrawn immediately because there are elections in many states in the coming days, our opponents in them can use this (rising oil prices) as a weapon."
