Rahul Gandhi Targets NDA Government in Lok Sabha Over LPG and Fuel Price Hike

New Delhi, March 12: Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday strongly criticized the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in the Lok Sabha over rising LPG prices and alleged shortages of oil and gas supplies across the country. Speaking during the parliamentary session, Rahul Gandhi accused the Centre of failing to control the rising cost of essential fuels, which he said has placed a heavy financial burden on middle-class and poor households. He questioned the government’s policies and demanded immediate steps to stabilize LPG cylinder prices and ensure adequate supply. The Congress leader also alleged that frequent increases in cooking gas and petroleum product prices are directly affecting household budgets and small businesses. He urged the government to provide relief to citizens by reducing taxes on fuel and improving supply management. Responding to the criticism, leaders from the ruling NDA defended the government’s policies, stating that global crude oil fluctuations and geopolitical tensions have impacted fuel prices worldwide. The issue of LPG pricing and fuel availability is expected to remain a major topic of debate in Parliament in the coming days, with opposition parties pressing the government for concrete measures to protect consumers.
