Oppn MPs protest in Parliament House complex over 'LPG supply crunch'
Opposition leaders have staged a protest inside the Parliament complex, over the reported LPG supply crunch. Several senior MPs, including Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, NCP (SP) leader Supriya Sule, SP’s Dharmendra Yadav, CPI-ML’s Sudama Prasad, DMK’s T Sumathy, and JMM’s Mahua Maji, gathered near Makar Dwar to voice their protest during the second part of the Budget Session of the Parliament.
The Opposition MPs raised slogans against the government by holding a large banner that read, ‘Empty Cylinders, Empty Promises’.
The supply crunch comes against the backdrop of ongoing tensions in West Asia, which have impacted energy supply dynamics. In response, the government has prioritised the use of domestically produced natural gas for LPG, CNG, and piped cooking gas.
