Says that the Congress government would provide a cooking gas subsidy of Rs 200 every month to women
After playing the free electricity card the former chief minister and head of campaign committee of Congress in Uttarakhand Harish Rawat has now said that when elected to power in the state, the Congress government would provide a cooking gas subsidy of Rs 200 per month. This subsidy amount would be transferred to the bank accounts of the women of the state, he said.
The former CM took to social media to make the announcement on the day of Rakshabandhan. He said that he is pained by the increasing prices of the cooking gas. “The burden on the sisters has increased due to increasing prices of cooking gas. When our government is formed a subsidy of Rs 200 per month would be transferred to the bank accounts of the women. I know this annual subsidy of Rs 2400 per year is very less in view of the burden loaded by the NDA government. I will also work to increase this subsidy with betterment of the financial condition of the state,’’ he said.
