Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced that eligible families under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana would receive one free LPG cylinder on the occasions of Diwali and Holi. An allocation of ₹ 1,500 crore has been made for the distribution of subsidies for LPG cylinder refills to more than 1.89 crore beneficiaries in the state. The Chief Minister explained the cost of a domestic LPG cylinder and the subsidy provided by the Centre. He also contrasted the availability of LPG connections under the present government with the situation during the Congress government.
Earlier, Adityanath accused the Congress and the INDIA bloc of turning their frustration over repeated electoral defeats into what he termed a 'politics of anarchy'. He made the remarks ahead of participating in the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) 'Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao' padyatra in Gorakhpur, alongside party National President Nitin Nabin. The march comes as part of the BJP's nationwide outreach campaign to counter allegations raised by the Opposition and target political rivals over issues of law and order and democratic values.
