New Delhi, March 11 || Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said that the country is going through troubling times due to acute LPG shortage, which is only going to worsen with the deepening West Asia crisis, and pinned the blame on the Narendra Modi government’s "feeble and pliable" foreign policy.
Addressing a press conference in the capital, Kejriwal claimed that the nation’s LPG production has reduced by about 50 per cent, and its fallout is visible primarily in the commercial sector as multiple restaurants are pulling their shutters down.
Holding the government responsible for the LPG crisis, he said that had the Modi government sustained India’s long-stated policy of non-alignment and not gravitated towards the US and Israel in this war in West Asia, this could have been avoided. He highlighted that despite the major blockade, the oil ships of Iran’s friendly nations are still passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
