Akhilesh Yadav took a jibe at BJP

On the increase in the prices of commercial LPG cylinders, SP President Akhilesh Yadav wrote in X Post, “Cylinder is not expensive, roti-thali is expensive. Only the one who buys it and eats it himself knows this, not the one who eats at others’ places or steals from others’ plates. If the cylinder had to be made expensive, then they would have made it expensive by Rs 1000 directly. Whom are these BJP people doing a favor by reducing Rs 7 in Rs 1000? BJP “When will you bring a condemnation motion on ‘inflation, unemployment, unemployment and recession’?”
