New Delhi: Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha (LoP) Rahul Gandhi said that if his party forms the government, the (LPG) gas cylinder being sold currently at Rs 1,200 will be available at Rs 500 per cylinder. “The Rs 700 extra that you are paying will be put back into your pockets/bank accounts once we come to power.” Rahul Gandhi said this while addressing an election rally in Haryana’s Bahadurgarh on Tuesday.
