The shortage of commercial gas across the country has had a huge impact on hotels, restaurants and many industries. Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal has suddenly claimed high unemployment and the government’s fault.
Through the press conference, Arvind Kejriwal said, “At present the country is going through a very serious crisis. There is a huge shortage of LPG gas in the entire country. The reason for this is that only 50 percent of the daily production is being produced in the entire country. We import 60 percent of the LPG consumption in our country. 90 percent of that 60 percent comes from the Strait of Hormus. It is closed for India. Now the country Only 50-55 percent LPG is available.”
Thousands of hotels are closing in every state
The Aam Aadmi Party chief further said, “The biggest brunt of this is being borne by restaurants and hotels. The government has issued an order that LPG gas will not be provided to restaurants and hotels. In view of security, restaurants and hotels cannot keep stock of these cylinders. Cylinders are supplied to them daily. Now if LPG is suddenly stopped, they do not have stock even for two days.”
Due to this, 20 percent of hotels and restaurants in Mumbai have been closed. There is a possibility of 50 percent hotels being closed in the next three days. 10 thousand hotels in Tamil Nadu are on the verge of closure. Thousands of hotels are going to be closed in Punjab and Delhi also. This is the season of weddings. If this continues, many people will have to postpone their wedding dates. Similar news is coming from everywhere like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Bihar.

Fear of one crore people becoming unemployed
Irvind Kejriwal said, “In Morbi, the ‘capital of tile industry’ of Gujarat, where there are 650 industries, 170 have been closed and one lakh people have become unemployed. There is a possibility of more than one crore people becoming unemployed suddenly in the entire country. We can imagine what would be the situation if so many people become unemployed suddenly.”
Why did LPG crisis occur in India?
Arvind Kejriwal said, “In the past few days, the government has increased the prices of domestic and commercial cylinders. The prices increased by the government are different, but now the cylinders are being sold in black in the market. We have to understand why this is happening. Israel and America attacked Iran. Most of the world’s oil and gas is transported through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has occupied the Strait of Hormuz and has said that only those countries that are friendly to them can Only they will have the right to transport their ships, so only Russian and Chinese ships are going through there.”
‘PM Modi made the biggest mistake’- Arvind Kejriwal
After this, attacking the central government, Arvind Kejriwal said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made the biggest mistake. We should not have supported any side in any war. We should have remained neutral. India’s foreign policy was going on for the last 75 years, which PM Modi demolished within a few days. He directly went and stood with Israel-America and against Iran. Why did he need to go to Israel a day before the war started?
