Chhindwara, April 2: In a surprising turn of events for the Congress party, senior leader and former Chief Minister Kamal Nath dismissed claims of an LPG shortage in Madhya Pradesh on Thursday. This statement contradicts the aggressive campaign launched by his party against both the central and state governments.
While Congress has been targeting the central and Madhya Pradesh governments for alleged delays in LPG supply and the hardships faced by the public, Kamal Nath firmly rejected these claims.
Speaking to reporters in Chhindwara, he stated, “There is no shortage. An atmosphere is being created to suggest that there is one.”
He emphasized that there is ‘no shortage of cooking gas’ in the state and accused certain individuals of deliberately spreading panic for political gain. His remarks align closely with the central government’s stance, which asserts that there is no real crisis, only rumors being circulated.
As the leader of the Congress legislative party in Madhya Pradesh, Kamal Nath indirectly criticized the ruling BJP, suggesting that such claims are made to distract the public from pressing governance issues.
This comment comes at a time when reports of delays in LPG deliveries and long queues at distribution centers have emerged from several districts. However, the former Chief Minister maintained that the situation is largely normal and urged people not to be misled by rumors.
Political analysts believe that Kamal Nath’s statement is a setback for Congress’s strategy to leverage the alleged LPG crisis as an electoral issue, particularly in key states like West Bengal, Assam, and Kerala.
Local reactions in Chhindwara and surrounding areas have been mixed. While some families reported slight delays in cylinder refills in recent weeks, many others claimed that supplies are generally available through regular channels.
This development is likely to intensify political debates regarding the availability of essential goods in Madhya Pradesh, potentially putting Congress in a difficult position as it criticizes the government on the same issue in other parts of the country.
