LPG Cylinder Price Hiked By Rs 50, Petrol-Diesel By 80 Paise, Twitter Reacts With Memes

Inflation is definitely a matter of concern for common public as it becomes difficult for them to manage their household if the prices of necessary products keep on rising. Recently, there was an increase in the prices of LPG cooking gas, petrol and diesel which has become the talk of the town on social media.

The prices of LPG increased by Rs. 50 per cylinder while the rate of petrol and diesel increased by 80 paise per litre. However, their prices are different in each state because of the different rates of local taxes imposed in each state. As per the reports, the price of a non-subsidized LPG cylinder (14.2 kg) will cost Rs. 949.50 in Delhi and Mumbai but in Kolkata and Chennai, the consumers will need to spend Rs. 976 and Rs. 965.50, respectively.

The Delhites will have to pay Rs. 96.21 per litre for petrol and Rs. 86.67 per litre for diesel now. This hike in the prices will certainly affect the monthly budget of common public as the increasing prices of petrol and diesel will further increase the price of transportation and it will directly affect the prices of groceries and other fmcg products.

After the price rises, the Indian Twitterati lost cool and started expressing their views by means of memes and jokes. These rib-tickling reactions will make you laugh and cry at the same time:
