PMK youth wing leader and Rajya Sabha MP Anbumani Ramadoss on Wednesday demanded that the Central government roll back the LPG cooking gas cylinder price, which has been hiked by ₹15.

Mr. Anbumani pointed out that price of a cylinder has been increased 8 times in the last 8 months and said that the price hike was unfair.

“In February, the price of a gas cylinder was ₹710. This has increased [over a period of time] by ₹205. It is not right to increase the price of a cylinder by 29% in 8 months. This will affect the poor and middle class families. The price hike should be immediately rolled back,” he said in a statement.
