Goa's Leader of Opposition Yuri Alemao on Wednesday slammed the BJP-led Centre for the hike in the prices of LPG and said that even frying pakodas will now be difficult for the youth.

Cooking gas LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) price on Wednesday was hiked by Rs 50 per cylinder the first increase in rates in almost eight months that came within days of the end of polling in three northeastern states. Parallely, oil firms also hiked the price of commercial LPG, used in hotels and restaurants, by Rs 350.5 per cylinder.
