Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) Social Media Chairman Himanshu Tivrekar said that thousands of videos of people speaking from around the country have been uploaded onto social media platforms, highlighting the plight of every citizen.
“The response to this campaign speaks volumes of the state of affairs in our nation today and the sentiment of our people towards this power hungry and crony-capitalist government,” he said.
Tivrekar said that for the third month in a row the Narendra Modi government has increased the price of LPG cylinders since January 2021. The price of one LPG cylinder has increased by Rs 190 and fuel prices have been increased over 67 times in the last eight months.
The price of cooking oil has increased by over 50 per cent in one-year.
Tivrekar further pointed out that Congress President Rahul Gandhi also held a press conference to question the Union government on the exorbitant prices, the purpose of National Monetisation Pipeline (NMP) and where all the money the government is collecting is going.
