"BJP appreciates oppn's maturity at all-party meeting," says NV Subhash; dismisses LPG & fuel price rise rumours

BJP's NV Subhash welcomes constructive all-party meeting on West Asia, dismisses social media rumours about LPG and petroleum price hikes.

"The maturity that has been shown by the opposition parties, the BJP appreciates that. - NV Subhash"

Hyderabad, March 26

BJP leader NV Subhash on Thursday welcomed the "maturity" shown by most political parties at the all-party meeting called by the National Democratic Alliance government under Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju.

He also dismissed rumours circulating on social media about a rise in LPG and petroleum prices.

Speaking to ANI, Subhash said the meeting saw participation from almost all political parties and reflected a constructive spirit. He added that there has been "a hue and cry" by some Opposition members claiming that the PM-led government does not allow them to speak.

"Yesterday, the NDA government called for a non-party meeting in which almost all parties have participated under the chairmanship of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, along with Kiren Rijiju. The maturity that has been shown by the opposition parties, the BJP appreciates that. The opposition parties have been making a hue and cry in the parliament, saying that the PM Modi-led government is not allowing them to speak. The government of India, under the leadership of the PM, has invited all the political parties, except the TMC, which deliberately did not participate, showing their immaturity," he said.

On issues related to fuel prices, Subhash said, "We are sure that all the prices of LPG have not been increased. The petroleum prices have not been increased. It is only some kind of fear by some people, especially on social media, creating a shortage of LPG, gas, and petroleum, which is not true."

On Wednesday, the meeting on the ongoing West Asia crisis, chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, was attended by several opposition leaders.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman were also among those present at the meeting.

Congress leaders Mukul Wasnik and Tariq Anwar, Samajwadi Party leaders Dharmendra Yadav, and Javed Ali, CPI(M)'s John Brittas, LJP's Arun Bharti, DMK leader P Wilson and AAP's Sanjay Singh were among those present.

JD(U) was represented by Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh and the party's working president, Sanjay Jha.

No leader from the Trinamool Congress attended the meeting. TMC MP Saugata Roy said the entire fight is ongoing with the BJP. "What meeting will we hold with them?" he asked.

Appreciating the opposition is one thing, but the real test is whether their voices are heard on the floor of the House. The opposition's complaints about not being allowed to speak are serious and need addressing, not just dismissing.

Thank God the rumours about LPG price hike are false! My mother was so worried. These social media forwards create unnecessary panic. We need to verify news before sharing.

As an observer, it's refreshing to see cross-party meetings. The TMC's absence is disappointing though. Even if you disagree, you should participate in national discussions. That's what responsible politics is about.

The government should hold such all-party meets more often. It builds trust. On fuel prices, they must ensure stability. The common man's budget is already stretched thin with inflation.

Constructive spirit is good, but actions speak louder than words. Let's see if this translates to less disruption in the next session. Also, hope the clarification on fuel prices holds true for the foreseeable future.
