Sanjay Singh, a member of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), raised concerns regarding the recent increase in LPG prices in India, questioning the appropriateness of comparing these prices with those in the US and Canada given the stark differences in per capita income. Singh pointed out that India ranks 142nd globally in per capita income, arguing that the price hike adds further financial strain on citizens. He criticized the government for its inability to manage inflation, attributing this failure to a preoccupation with communal issues rather than economic challenges. Meanwhile, RLD leader Malook Nagar defended the government's actions, asserting that Prime Minister Modi is attentive to the public's needs and that inflation rates in India are significantly lower than in many other countries. The Ministry of Petroleum justified the price increase by stating that Indian households still pay less for LPG compared to those in neighboring nations and advanced economies, despite the recent hike of ₹29 per cylinder due to rising costs linked to the West Asia crisis.
