New Delhi, June 7: BJP leaders have responded to the recent increase of ₹29 in domestic cooking gas (LPG) prices, stating that it is justified for the country’s interest. They emphasized that despite global crises, there is no shortage of petroleum products in India, and prices remain lower compared to other countries.
Central Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, speaking from Jodhpur, noted, “Such a crisis has arisen due to global challenges. If we look at the world stage, petroleum product prices have surged between 30% to 130%. LPG and CNG prices have increased by 30% to 300%. All countries are affected in some way by this global crisis, and India is certainly impacted, disrupting the entire supply chain.”
BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi added, “The world is going through significant crises and challenges. The impact of this war is felt globally, and it cannot be ignored. India is also affected and will continue to be. However, I believe that this increase in LPG prices is a temporary issue and should not be viewed as a permanent problem.”
Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti, Chairperson of the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) in Raipur, stated, “I think we need to pay attention to the international situation. The world is facing a serious crisis, with severe conflicts and wars ongoing. Many developed countries are experiencing disruptions in vehicle movement and shortages of diesel and petrol. Comparatively, I can say that India remains relatively stable and stands strong in every sector.”
Bihar government minister Santosh Kumar Suman remarked, “We understand that the ₹29 increase in domestic LPG prices is linked to global factors and international trends. If prices have risen, we are confident that efforts will be made to balance the situation. The Prime Minister and Finance Minister will certainly work towards finding a solution.”
JD(U) national spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan Prasad in Patna stated, “When we compare India with other countries, our citizens are facing difficulties, but people in many parts of the world are facing even greater challenges. The global situation has become quite unusual, raising serious questions about the world economy.”
