Imphal, September 01 2021:
Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) has constituted its state level social media department team with eight new members on Wednesday.
The eight new members are Abhinash Naorem, Cosmic Jajo, Thingbaijam Kippo Khuman, Alfred Huiningsungbam, Md Ilias Khan, Seiminthang Haokip, Rapanlung Kamei and Kishan Konthoujam.
Meanwhile, Congress on Wednesday attacked the Modi government over rise in prices of essential commodities including domestic cooking gas, with Rahul Gandhi saying the country is uniting against this injustice.
The price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders across all categories including subsidised gas on Wednesday were hiked by Rs 25 per cylinder, the third straight increase in less than two months.
The former Congress chief hit out at the government over the rise in prices of domestic cooking gas and shared a chart of the hike in LPG rates in the four metros since January while using the hashtag "#IndiaAgainstBJPLoot" .
Rahul Gandhi also hit out against the Modi government over its National Monetisatiori Pipeline.
The Congress party launched the campaign on social media using the hashtag and shared videos of common people from across the country narrating their concerns regarding price rise.
Congress social media department head Rohan Gupta said the party has received video messages from hundreds of common people across the country on the price rise and the problems faced by them and the party has shared them on its handles.
"We have received hundreds of videos from around the country of common Indians whose lives have been completely devastated by the ever increasing prices of basic commodities," he said.
Gupta said for the third month in a row the Modi government has increased the price of LPG.
Fuel prices have been increased over 67 times in the last eight months and the price of cooking oil has increased by over SO per cent in a year, he added.
