"I appeal to the PM to raise the bar of LPG usage from 9 cylinders to 12 cylinders," Rahul had said while addressing the AICC meet.
New Delhi: The Cabinet is likely to decide on hiking LPG cylinder cap to 12 on Thursday, according to sources. This comes after Congress Rahul Gandhi urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to increase the LPG subsidy from nine to 12 cylinders on January 17. "I appeal to the Prime Minister to raise the bar of LPG usage from 9 cylinders to 12 cylinders," Rahul had said while addressing the AICC meet.
The decision to lower LPG cylinder cap was taken on January 17, 2013.
However, the BJP had hit out at the Congress over the timing of the announcement. "Now that the elections are near, Rahul Gandhi is asking for more subsidy on LPG cylinders," said Shahnawaz Hussain.
