Press Statement by CPI(M) PB.
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) condemns the decision of the government to raise the price of cooking gas cylinders by Rs. 4 per month till a time when the entire subsidy on gas cylinders is wiped out.
This decision runs totally against the high profile “Give it Up” campaign conducted by the Prime Minister to persuade families that can afford gas cylinders without subsidy to give up their subsidy so that these can be given to the poor.
Further, this is happening when the international prices of oil are sharply declining. Clearly, this government is fleecing the people in order to augment its revenue collections, when the prices of petroleum products should actually decline in line with the international trend.
The Polit Burau of the CPI(M) demands the immediate withdrawal of this harsh burden being imposed on the vast majority of the people of our country.

Ofcourse , this hike is a threat to Women…
Dear comrade, donot worry about the cooking gas price. Worry about the BSNL employees and their families, who put hopes on you. Meet our comrades in lokshaba and Rajyashaba, share our views with other unions. Make possible the 3cpc at earliest. Be hurry.
BSNLEU is doing everything possible. The 27th July 2017 strike was for the wage revision.
