Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma on Wednesday announced that the price of gas cylinders under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala scheme will be slashed by Rs 50. The cylinders will now be available at Rs 450 instead of Rs 500. While making the announcement, he said the move aligns with the BJP’s promise made before the recently concluded state elections.
Addressing a rally in Tonk earlier in the day, CM Sharma said, “Resonating with PM Narendra Modi’s guarantee and our (BJP) manifesto, today I announce that starting 1st January 2024, subsidised gas cylinders under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana will be available for Rs 450 for the beneficiaries.”
It is to be noted that in its election manifesto, the BJP had promised a subsidy of Rs 450 per LPG cylinder and 2.5 lakh government jobs if voted to power in the desert state. The Congress went a step ahead promising in its poll manifesto that if voted to power, it would slash the price of LPG cylinders to Rs 400.
