:The steep hike in commercial LPG prices by ₹993 per cylinder is a direct consequence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ludicrous foreign policy, which has failed to secure India's national interests in a volatile global energy environment, P. Sandosh Kumar, MP, has said.In a statement issued on Friday, Mr. Kumar, who is the leader of the CPI in the Rajya Sabha, said that instead of ensuring stability in fuel supplies and prices, this approach had left the country exposed, and the burden was now being dumped on restaurants, dhabas, small eateries, hostels, PG accommodations and small establishments across the country. "The immediate fallout will be higher food costs and living expenses, hitting ordinary people the hardest," he said. Published - May 02, 2026 08:45 am IST
