The Shiv Sena (UBT) on Saturday criticised the BJP-led central government over the reported disruption in LPG supply amid the escalating West Asia conflict, alleging that official assurances of adequate stock are not reflected in the situation on the ground, reported news agency IANS.

In a strongly worded editorial published in its mouthpiece Saamana, the party claimed that the gap between the government’s claims and the ground reality is widening, with people facing long queues outside gas agencies and several eateries reportedly shutting down due to shortage of commercial LPG cylinders, reported IANS.
