The Congress on Friday (May 1, 2026) slammed the Narendra Modi Government over the latest price hike for commercial LPG cylinders, with Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi calling it the “bill for elections”.

Attacking the steep increase in commercial LPG prices, Mr. Gandhi said the hike — the largest ever in a single day — was proof that the burden of inflation would intensify after elections.
