தமிழகத்திற்கு @PMOIndia வந்து சென்றதன் பரிசு மானியமில்லாத #LPG-ன் விலை ரூ.50 உயர்வு!. ஏற்கனவே மானியத்துடனான LPG சிலிண்டரின் விலை ரூ.100 உயர்வு!...

DMK president M.K. Stalin launched a stinging critique against the Union government over an abrupt fifty-rupee price hike on non-subsidized LPG cooking gas cylinders, which followed a recent visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Tamil Nadu. Stalin pointed out that subsidized gas cylinders had already witnessed a punishing increase of one hundred rupees, while petrol and diesel rates continued their relentless upward surge on a daily basis. He condemned the cruel price burden imposed on struggling families.

Stalin questioned why the Union and state administrations continued to inflict economic misery on ordinary citizens when global crude oil prices remained moderate. He noted that exorbitant central excise duties and state commercial taxes had turned essential energy commodities into unaffordable luxuries for working-class households and daily wage earners. Stalin demanded that both Union and state governments slash burdensome duties immediately, emphasizing that rulers had a constitutional obligation to protect citizen livelihoods rather than extracting predatory revenues from basic household necessities.

The forceful statement resonated widely among consumers and opposition parties across Tamil Nadu. Stalin called upon democratic progressives to intensify protests against unyielding fuel inflation.
