Senior Congress leader Kamal Nath rejected claims of an LPG shortage in Madhya Pradesh, contrary to his party’s stance against the government. While Congress criticized delays in LPG supply, Nath stated there is no shortage, accusing some of creating panic for political gain. He suggested that the narrative aims to divert attention from governance issues, indirectly targeting the ruling BJP.
Kamal Nath’s remarks come amidst reports of delayed LPG deliveries in several districts. Despite complaints, he emphasized that the situation is normal and urged people not to be misled by rumors. This stance is seen as a setback to Congress’s electoral strategy around the alleged LPG crisis in states like West Bengal, Assam, and Kerala.
Residents in Chhindwara and nearby areas have varied reactions, with some experiencing minor delays in cylinder refills while others find supplies readily available. The political debate over essential commodity availability in Madhya Pradesh is expected to escalate, posing a challenge for Congress as it criticizes the government on similar issues nationwide.
