Families under Ujjwala scheme to get gas cylinders at Rs 500 in Rajasthan, says CM Gehlot


Mangalore Today News Network

Jaipur, Dec 20, 2022: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot announced on Monday that starting from April 1, poor families covered under the Ujjwala scheme will be given 12 LPG cylinders a year for Rs 500 each. The chief minister made the announcement at an event for the Congress’ Bharat Jodo Yatra that is on its Rajasthan leg. Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge also attended the event.

While making the announcement, Gehlot said no one should be deprived of the government’s welfare schemes. "I would like to announce on this occasion that those who are below the poverty line and covered by the Ujjwala scheme, a study of their category would be conducted and from April 1, they will be given 12 cylinders a year for Rs 500 each," he added.

 


He also slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said, "Under the sham of the Ujjwala scheme, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has provided the poor with LPG connections but the cylinders are lying empty as the rates have increased from Rs 400 to Rs 1,040."

The current price for LPG cylinders weighing approximately 14.2kg is around Rs 1,057.

Gehlot said his government would take one step after another to ease the impact of inflation on the people.

The Rajasthan Assembly election is likely to be held by the end of next year and the Congress is making all efforts to secure a second straight term in the state. However, the frequent power tussles between Gehlot and his bete noire, Sachin Pilot, have been hindering the party’s efforts.
