Chandigarh, March 27 Congress leader and MP Kumari Selja criticised the BJP government on Friday, alleging that a crisis involving LPG, PNG, and diesel in Haryana has revealed its failures.
In a statement, Selja claimed that the decision to make PNG mandatory without proper planning has caused significant hardship for residents.
She alleged that many households were forced to give up their LPG connections, yet PNG connections were not provided promptly, leaving numerous families without access to cooking gas.
Selja pointed out that even in areas where PNG pipelines are installed, applications for connections have been pending for long periods, highlighting administrative inefficiencies.
The MP also claimed that the "shortage" of LPG has created difficulties for households, hotels, and those hosting weddings, as they struggle to obtain gas cylinders.
Additionally, Selja claimed that the inadequate supply has led to black marketing, with people being forced to purchase cylinders at inflated prices.
Raising concerns over an alleged diesel shortage, she claimed that long queues are forming at fuel stations and supplies are dwindling in several locations, creating challenges for farmers during the wheat harvesting season.
Selja urged the government to ensure a consistent supply of LPG, expedite PNG connections, and maintain uninterrupted diesel availability, especially for farmers.
