Sanjay Raut, MP of Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray), launched a sharp attack on the Centre over the LPG cylinder shortage across the country amid the ongoing West Asia conflict, saying the government's assurances had proven wrong.
Addressing a press conference in the national capital, Raut expressed concern over restaurants and other industries reportedly closing down due to a shortage of LPG and fuel.
He said, “The biggest
issue in the country right now is the situation arising from the conflict between US-Israel and Iran. There is a shortage of commercial and domestic gas.
When the conflict began, the Modi government said that there would be no impact on India and there would be no price rise.
The assurance by the Prime Minister, Finance Minister and External Affairs Minister has failed. Restaurants are closing down in Mumbai and other cities.”
