LPG shortage: Uddhav slams Maharashtra Govt

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray on Monday questioned the claims of the Union and Maharashtra Governments on no shortage of LPG amid the West Asia crisis and asked why queues were being seen for cylinders if this was the case. He also took a swipe at Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis over the latter's assertion that the Opposition was creating panic through misinformation despite there being no shortage of LPG or fuel in the state.
“If there is (LPG) supply, then why are queues (for cylinders) being seen? I have received information that 30 to 40 per cent of hotels in Mumbai are shutting down due to the shortage. Common citizens are suffering,” Thackeray said.
If the Government claims there is no shortage of LPG cylinders, then why are people struggling to get them, the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader asked.
“If the chief minister is not willing to accept that such a situation exists, then the state's situation is really difficult,” he said while alleging that the Government machinery had failed to convey the ground reality to Fadnavis.
