Rahul Gandhi Criticizes Modi Govt Amidst Deepening LPG Crisis

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has intensified his criticism of the Modi government's reaction to the ongoing LPG crisis in India. In a Facebook post, Gandhi accused the government of compromising the nation's energy security and failing to take timely measures to alleviate the issue.

The crisis, according to Gandhi, has been exacerbated by a weak foreign policy and an over-reliance on imports. As supplies dwindle, Indian households and businesses face increased waiting times and price hikes, causing widespread concern about energy security.

The government, in response, has urged states to expedite approvals for piped gas projects and has been promoting the use of alternative cooking mediums and city gas distribution networks to manage demand amid disrupted LPG imports due to geopolitical tensions.
