Government Shows Sensitivity to Public Needs with LPG Price Cut, Says Rajendra Rathore

Jaipur, July 1: Senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Rajendra Singh Rathore, has commented on several significant issues, including the reduction in commercial LPG cylinder prices, the upcoming film ‘Chauhan’ featuring actor Ajay Devgn, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s proposed visit to Rajasthan.

In an interview with a news agency, Rathore addressed the recent decrease in the price of 19-kilogram commercial LPG cylinders. He explained that global circumstances had previously led to an increase in crude oil prices. Despite challenges in the Hormuz Strait, the central government worked to limit the price burden on the domestic market, even as oil marketing companies incurred losses. With some improvement in international conditions, the government decided to provide relief in prices, demonstrating its sensitivity to public issues. Rathore expressed gratitude towards Prime Minister Modi for this decision.

Regarding Ajay Devgn’s upcoming film ‘Chauhan’, Rathore raised concerns about the portrayal of history. He accused the filmmakers of misrepresenting historical facts and diminishing Rajasthan’s glorious past. He urged the filmmakers to respect historical truths, emphasizing that history belongs to the collective heritage of Rajasthan, the nation, and particularly Rajputana.

Rathore made it clear that any derogatory or distorted representation of the history of the Kshatriya and Rajput communities will not be tolerated. He called on both the central and state governments to take this matter seriously.

On the topic of Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Rajasthan and the proposal to establish a ‘Zero-Population Zone’ in areas near the international border, Rathore stated that whenever the Prime Minister visits Rajasthan, he brings new opportunities for the state’s development. He highlighted the positive changes in the state’s economy, infrastructure, and overall development as a result of the leadership of Prime Minister Modi and Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma.

Supporting the proposal for a ‘Zero-Population Zone’ within the first 15 kilometers of the border, Rathore pointed out that Rajasthan’s 1,066-kilometer international border faces ongoing challenges such as drug trafficking, espionage, and other security threats via drones. He emphasized that national security must take precedence, even if it causes some inconvenience to the residents of border areas.
