Why did women surround the Finance Minister in Tamil Nadu?| Loksabha 2024- Watch Video

Housewives gathered Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and demanded that cooking gas (LPG) prices be lowered since they are too high. The Finance Minister responded to the women's request with his justification, outlining why cooking gas costs have risen and when they would start to decline.

'Wall to Wall' campaign for the 2024

The village of Pazhiyasivaram in Tamil Nadu's Kanchipuram district was where the Finance Minister had arrived. He then launched his "wall to wall" campaign for the 2024 presidential election. This incident took place at the start of the campaign. The women pleaded with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to lower the price of cooking gas while she stood in front of them. Let us inform you that a filled gas cylinder now costs Rs 1100 and that the price of cooking gas jumped by Rs 50 a few days ago.

FM Nirmala Sitharaman statement 

Nirmala Sitharaman while replying to the women said that the price of cooking gas is decided by the international market. There is no cooking gas in our country. We are only importing it. When we import it, if the price increases there, then the price also increases here.
