Capping the number of LPG cylinders per family

           Government should study the following points before deciding on giving additional LPG cylinders
            per family in the congress ruled states alone. The differential treatment to some states is bound to
            create tricky situations:


     1)     Is it fair to cap the number of subsidized LPG cylinders per family, higher in Congress ruled  states    
            alone? Will Congress Party bear the additional costs involved from its own party funds?

2)      What happens if the Congress Government decides to give extra 50% cash benefit on all “am aadmi” schemes for states ruled by their party only? Like in LPG case.

3)      When there are plans to directly transfer subsidy amounts to the beneficiaries’ bank accounts under “Aadhar” scheme, will giving additional cash benefits to the people belonging to select states be legally tenable?

4)      Such discriminative policies will only further divide the already fragmented society. Congress must be forced to implement uniform subsidy scheme for all states. 

5)  Or they can scrap subsidy altogether.

6)      With Lok Sabha elections not far away Congress’ efforts only seem to be aimed at retaining power at least in the states they rule. This will only highlight their defeatist mentality even before the elections
