He also pitched for people who are well off to surrender their fuel subsidy entitlement.

"People who don't need LPG subsidy and those who are capable of managing without it should give it up. I ask you to join this movement. Give up gas subsidy. Create a record. The subsidy that you will give up will go a long way in benefitting the poor people," Modi said.
