Fact-check: Did LPG cost more during UPA than under BJP government? -Archit Mehta

-Altnews.in

After the fifth increase in LPG refill prices since December 2020, except for a meagre cut of Rs 10 on March 31, 14.2 kg LPG refill will now cost Rs 834.50. However, BJP supporter Rishi Bagree shared a tweet listing LPG cylinders since 2011 and claimed that non-subsidised LPG gas is 32% cheaper than its price during the UPA government.

Bagree had tweeted the same earlier in February and in 2020. The claim was widespread on Twitter and Facebook. In the past, Bagree has shared misinformation on multiple instances.
