Crisis in the Kitchen: LPG Shortages and Modi's Response

Rahul Gandhi criticized Prime Minister Modi over LPG shortages, accusing him of being distracted by unrelated scandals. Amid protests by opposition MPs, Gandhi highlighted the challenges faced by the hospitality sector due to the LPG crisis. The government prioritizes domestic LPG amid global fuel disruptions.

Rahul Gandhi on Thursday criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi amidst growing concerns over an LPG shortage in India, suggesting that the leader is preoccupied with issues like the Epstein files and the Adani Case rather than addressing the fuel crisis.

With the support of several opposition MPs, including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Gandhi staged a protest in the Parliament House complex, demanding accountability from the government over the shortage of commercial LPG cylinders that has affected numerous industries.

Amid the protests, the government has reassured the public that domestic LPG supplies remain secure, prioritizing household needs amidst global disruptions, yet commercial sectors, particularly the hotel industry, continue to face operational challenges.
