TNCC chief Manickam Tagore flays Centre for rise in commercial LPG prices
TNCC leader Manickam Tagore condemned the central government for the recent increase in commercial LPG prices. He also objected to the government's plan to impose a merchant discount rate on UPI transactions, arguing that the fee would burden small traders further. He warned the hike would strain LPG‑dependent businesses and the UPI fee could cut margins for micro‑enterprises.
