New Delhi, May 1 -- Congress Rajya Sabha MP Pramod Tiwari on Friday sharply criticised the recent increase in LPG cylinder prices, alleging that the Centre has burdened citizens with rising inflation and timed the hike after elections.

Targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Tiwari said the country would remember him as the "Price Hike Man," alleging that inflation under the current government has risen rapidly.

Speaking to ANI, Tiwari said," The country will remember Narendra Modi as the 'Price Hike Man'. Their speed of inflation is going above all the missiles. I want to say that today the price of the cylinder has increased by almost Rs 1000. And the price which was in January has doubled today; it has reached above Rs 3000."
