Rajnath Singh 'No Dearth of Fuel or Gas in Country'

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday said that there is "no dearth of fuel or gas in the country" and India was ready to deal with any energy crisis resulting out of the West Asia conflict.

Singh, speaking at a Sainik Samman Sammelan in poll-bound Kerala, said that Indian Navy ships were safely escorting the country's tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. 

The defence minister further said that



Prime Minister Narendra Modi was using his diplomatic skills to protect Indian interests in the Gulf region.

"We are closely monitoring the state of affairs in West Asia and are prepared to deal with any situation," he said. Singh, during his speech, urged everyone to choose the BJP in the assembly polls as it was the correct political party to bring changes to the state, as it came with "Modiyude guarantees" (Modi's guarantees).
