Smriti Irani’s Tweet Goes Viral
“50 rupee LPG price increase!!! They identify as Aam Aadmi ki Sarkars. Such a shame,” Smriti Irani criticised the then-Congress government in an earlier tweet.
“Smriti Irani sat on the road with the cylinder when an LPG cylinder cost less than Rs 400. Will it hit the road even today? The cost of a cylinder has crossed Rs 1,100 today,” the official Twitter account for Congress wrote on the microblogging platform.
Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi stated in a tweet in Hindi, “During Mitra Kaal, just the public’s pockets are slashed and the nation’s money is transferred to Mitra (friends) in charity. During the Congress era, there was relief in the shape of subsidies.”
