Amid a national LPG shortage, Rahul Gandhi has launched a critique against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, suggesting that the PM is not addressing the crisis due to distractions involving the Epstein files and the Adani case. The Congress leader's comments come as part of a broader protest in Parliament over LPG supply issues.
Gandhi and other opposition members, including Priyanka Gandhi, staged demonstrations demanding government accountability on the commercial LPG shortage, which has significantly affected the hotel industry. Protestors raised slogans and called for an urgent session in Parliament to discuss the crisis.
Despite assurances from the government that domestic LPG supplies are secure, the restrictions on commercial LPG have forced businesses to explore alternative means of cooking, threatening closures and wage concerns. The disruption has been exacerbated by ongoing conflicts affecting global fuel supply lines.
