They Bought Cheap Russian Oil, Saved Billions Modi Chairs “Protect Citizens” Meet, Then Fires Another ₹195 on Every Commercial Cylinder
India, wake the hell up. While your roadside dhaba owner, chaiwala, and small restaurant are already bleeding from four back-to-back commercial LPG hikes in just four months, the government is out there preaching “energy security is our top priority.” The numbers don’t lie. January/February: +₹49. march 1: +₹28. march 7: +₹115. And today, april 1: another savage +₹195. That’s ₹387 added to every 19-kg commercial cylinder in 2026 alone — the exact fuel that keeps your food hot and affordable.
The Hikes Are 100% Real — And Brutally Timed
Fact-check confirms every single increase. oil marketing companies have raised commercial LPG prices four times since the year began. These aren’t household cylinders. They’re the ones every hotel, eatery, and street vendor depends on. The cost is already being passed straight to your plate.

Modi’s Own Words, Four Days Ago

This isn’t global bad luck. It’s a policy choice. fire small doses before polling day, then unload the full magazine once votes are cast. Poor people and small businesses aren’t collateral damage — they’re scheduled damage. Note what happened on april 1. Remember it on May 5. Your wallet just got the message loud and clear.
