LPG must not cost more, says Mrs Singh

May 20, 2004 15:28 IST

Prime Minister-designate Manmohan Singh may have started the process of economic liberalisation, but his wife reflected the hopes of every homemaker today when she said the price of cooking gas should not go up any further.

"We are already paying around Rs 241 for every LPG cylinder. I don't think the price should go up any further," Singh's wife Gursharan Kaur told reporters in New Delhi.

The government provides huge subsidies for cooking gas and the price of every cylinder would go above Rs 300 if these were removed.
