"There's no problem, misinformation is being spread": Chhattisgarh CM amid LPG constraints

Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Deo Sai assures no LPG problem, calls rumors misinformation. Maharashtra CM Fadnavis also denies shortage, blames Congress.

"There is no problem. Misinformation is being spread... - Vishnu Deo Sai"

Bilaspur, March 14

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Saturday said that there is no problem regarding the LPG in the state, asserting that misinformation is being spread.

Speaking to the media in Bilaspur, CM Sai urged the citizens to stay away from rumours, further assuring them that they will not face any problem.

"There is no problem. Misinformation is being spread... The people of the state should stay away from rumours; they will not face any trouble," he said.

He also said that the state government has launched the 'Gaudham Yojana' for the protection and promotion of cattle across the state.

The Chief Minister said that 29 Gaudhams have been inaugurated under the scheme, and proper arrangements will be ensured at all these facilities.

"Today, we have launched the 'Gaudham Yojana' for the protection and promotion of cattle across the entire state. Here, 29 Gaudhams have been inaugurated... Proper arrangements will be made in all these Gaudhams... This initiative will also increase the income of farmers and livestock rearers. This program was successfully concluded in the presence of all," CM Vishnu Deo Sai said.

Earlier in the day, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said there is no shortage of LPG in the country and accused the Congress of misleading people by creating confusion.

Speaking to the reporters, Maharashtra CM said, "Whether it's Maharashtra or the country, there is no shortage of LPG anywhere. The central government, secretaries, and companies have continuously stated this, but deliberately, Congress and its leaders are creating confusion among the people and making them stand in queues.... There is no need to stand in queues; Congress should stop misleading the country."The shortage of LPG has emerged amid global energy supply disruptions triggered by the ongoing conflict in West Asia.

Amid concerns over fuel supply due to developments in West Asia, the Union Petroleum Ministry on Saturday said India has sufficient crude oil supplies and that refineries across the country are operating at full capacity, with no reports of fuel shortages at retail outlets.

It's good to see the focus on 'Gaudham Yojana' for cattle protection. This is a very important initiative for our farmers in Chhattisgarh. As for LPG, let's trust the authorities but also hope they are monitoring the supply chain closely. 🙏

Frankly, this sounds like typical political blame game. One party says there's no shortage, the other says there is. The common citizen just wants their cylinder on time without having to make 10 calls to the distributor. Less talk, more action please.

With the global situation being tense, some anxiety is natural. Instead of just asking people not to panic, the government should give clear, regular updates on stock levels and expected delivery timelines. Transparency is key to stopping rumours.

Interesting to see the focus on cattle protection alongside an energy discussion. It shows how interconnected rural economies are. Hoping for stability in LPG supply as it's a crucial fuel for millions of households.

The Gaudham scheme is a welcome step. But sir, please also look into the LPG issue seriously. My mother in Bilaspur has been waiting for a refill for over a week. Saying "no problem" doesn't solve her problem. Action speaks louder than words.
