On International Women's Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a significant reduction in LPG cylinder prices by Rs. 100. This decision is aimed at easing the financial burden on millions of households across India, particularly benefiting women, referred to as 'Nari Shakti'. The move is seen as a gesture to make cooking gas more affordable and is celebrated as a Women's Day gift by the government. Various political figures and citizens have expressed their views on this announcement, with some praising the decision as a step towards women's empowerment and others critiquing it as politically motivated ahead of elections. Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri and BJP leaders have lauded the decision, highlighting its impact on women's empowerment and household savings. Meanwhile, opposition figures like Congress spokesperson Surendra Rajput and Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi have criticized the timing and motive behind the price cut, suggesting it is driven by upcoming elections and does not fully address the broader issue of inflation.
