Soon after this news, netizens started sharing their reactions on Twitter. While some criticised the Centre for the hike in prices of LPG cylinders and underlined how it has an impact on the common man’s budget, others took this opportunity to share hilarious memes.
Congress spokesperson Dr Shama Mohamed wrote, “The price of domestic LPG cylinders is hiked by Rs 3.50 and commercial cylinders by Rs 8. In Delhi, LPG used to cost Rs 414/cylinder in May 2014 under UPA and now it costs Rs 1,003. Even when inflation is at its highest in decades, the BJP government has no mercy on the people of India!”
Documentary filmmaker Rakesh Sharma, known for his film ‘Final Solution’, also tweeted his take about the rise in cylinder prices. He wrote, “Under the visionary leadership of PM Modi, there’s unprecedented growth in GDP – gas, diesel and petrol are at their highest prices ever! And still rising!! Is this development or not? Have achche din come or not?”

OMCs sell 14.2 kg cylinders to domestic households at the same prices as the open market. The government also offers subsidies on 12 such cylinders to each household annually, which is transferred directly to the bank accounts of the beneficiaries.
LPG cylinder prices and subsidies are determined on the basis of the international benchmark rate of LPG and exchange rate of US dollar and Indian rupee.
