In a striking attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has spotlighted the current LPG shortage and the government's handling of the issue. Gandhi has accused the prime minister of being preoccupied with other crises like the Epstein files and the Adani case in the USA.

Several opposition leaders, including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, staged a protest in the Parliament House complex, highlighting the impact of the LPG scarcity on the nation's businesses. Demonstrators displayed a mock cooking stove and chanted slogans reflecting their dissatisfaction.
