AAP Protests Against Recent Commercial LPG Price Increases by Central Government

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) held protests in Ludhiana and Amritsar against recent hikes in commercial LPG prices by the BJP-led Central government. AAP leaders and workers criticized the price increases, citing a cumulative rise of over ₹1,300 in three months for commercial cylinders, which they say burdens households, small businesses, and the hospitality sector. They warned that higher LPG costs could increase food prices and impact vendors and consumers reliant on ready-to-eat meals.
