Bhopal erupted in protest as Congress activists hit Roshanpura Chowk, fiercely opposing the central government’s latest LPG price escalation. Domestic cylinders up Rs 60 and commercial ones Rs 115—this move has ignited accusations of deliberate economic sabotage against everyday Indians.
The rally pulsed with energy: placards screamed ‘Mahangai ka Injection,’ and supporters playfully coronated PM Modi as the ‘inflation doctor.’ Housewives and workers shared stories of strained budgets, with one saying, ‘Our homes start at the stove, but these rates have extinguished our financial stability.’
District president Praveen Saxena commanded attention, contrasting 2014’s Rs 400 LPG price with today’s Rs 920 reality. He lambasted the hikes for hammering small businesses and middle-income groups, attributing the malaise to policy blunders. ‘The government’s inflation spree is looting the poor,’ he thundered.
Wrapping up with a call to arms, Congress threatened mass movements unless prices drop. This strategic outburst in Madhya Pradesh’s capital amplifies national debates on cost-of-living crises, pressuring authorities as public patience wears thin.
