It has been announced that it will provide cheap cylinders as soon as the BJP government is formed in Rajasthan. CM Bhajan Lal Sharma announced this on Wednesday. CM Bhajan Lal said that under the Ujjwala scheme, beneficiary women will be given cylinders for Rs 450. It will start from January 1.
BPL cardholders will also benefit from this scheme of cheap cylinders. During the assembly elections, the BJP promised cheap cylinders for Rs 450. This was also included in the manifesto. The new government has included this in its 100-day manifesto. Now, this announcement has been implemented.

However, earlier, the central government was the target of Congress for not providing cheap cylinders. Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma announced this by participating in the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra in the Tonk district. Let us tell you that the Gehlot government in Rajasthan has also started providing cheap cylinders. Under this scheme, which took place on April 1, 2023, cylinders were given for Rs 500.
