Union govt's LPG scam:
From May 2020, in the middle of lockdown, the Narendra govt sneakily stopped paying LPG subsidy to eligible customers.
Subsidy credit to people's bank accounts abruptly stopped exactly a year ago while LPG prices kept rising.

Here's what I was told 👇
LPG subsidy was paid as a difference between market price & subsidized price to eligible consumers. This started under the UPA Govt.
LPG subsidy was directly credited to bank accounts after linking of Aadhaar.
This abruptly stopped for all consumers in May 2020.

That's because in May 2020, citing "low fuel prices", the Narendra Govt. claimed that the price of a subsidized AND non-subsidized LPG cylinder was now the same at Rs. 594 per cylinder.
This was used as an excuse to not pay/credit subsidies.

Since then, LPG cylinder prices have skyrocketed. Prices were hiked 7 times between Dec 2020 & Mar 2021.
The average price of an LPG cylinder now is between Rs. 800-1000.
HOWEVER, the govt still claims that the price of a subsidized & non-subsidized cylinder is the SAME

Basically, the Govt of India is scamming people by raising the price of "subsidized cylinders" every time it hikes the market price. They're linked the two at par.
Which basically means NO SUBSIDIES for any LPG cylinder consumers no matter how much the prices rise.

This has hit not only the poor but also the middle-class.
After spending crores on PR for the "Ujjwala Scheme", the govt has conveniently hidden the fact that beneficiaries have gone back to using wooden stoves.
No one has received LPG subsidy since May 2020.

The BJP govt used the pandemic lockdown to hit the poor & middle-class in this sneaky manner.
The govt has effectively done away with LPG subsidy for EVERYONE by linking subsidized prices to market prices.
Thieves have more honor than these bloodsucking sanghis.
