New Delhi, April 15: Delhi BJP President Manoj Tiwari on Sunday accused the AAP and the Congress of trying to "defame" his party and alleged that they were disturbing the country's social fabric.

Addressing the media along with Union Minister Prakash Javadekar, Tiwari said: "The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress are trying to defame the BJP. They are trying to break the social fabric of the society."

He said that development was not an agenda for the two parties.

"They cannot compare themselves with the development work of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and they are always trying to spread riots in Delhi and in the country," he alleged.

The BJP MP alleged that in east Delhi "on the occasion of Ramnavmi, a group people, passed in front of a mosque, stopped there and raised slogans of Jai Shri Ram.

"Two people from that group have been identified as AAP leaders Nandlal Kannaujiya and Manish whose pictures are available on the social media with several senior leaders of the party," he added.

"Thanks to the people of Delhi and the residents of that colony where the incident happened, they didn't react. Otherwise something worse would have happened," he said.

Raipur (PTI): Amid reports of shortage of commercial LPG cylinder in several parts of the country due to the US-Israel-Iran conflict, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Tuesday assured people that they need not worry about the availability of cooking gas in the state.

He asserted that adequate stock of LPG as well as petrol and diesel was available in the state.

Sai said in a statement that authorities have been directed to regularly monitor stock at gas agencies and keep a close watch on the supply chain. Necessary instructions were issued to officials in all districts to ensure a smooth supply of LPG.

The chief minister instructed officials to take strict action if any complaint of black marketing or hoarding of LPG cylinders is received.

Sai urged state residents not to pay attention to rumours and to book cooking gas cylinders as per their actual requirement.

The government was fully alert to ensure the availability of essential commodities to citizens, he emphasised.

Meanwhile, the Chhattisgarh Hotel and Restaurant Association has issued an advisory to hotels, restaurants, caterers and other food businesses across the state, urging them to maintain calm and avoid panic buying.

In the advisory, Taranjeet Singh Hora, president of the association, asked members to maintain coordination and immediately inform it about any major disruption in LPG supply.

He cautioned businesses against hoarding cylinders, saying such practices could worsen the situation for the entire hospitality sector.

The association advised hotels and restaurants to prioritise essential kitchen operations, core menu items and already committed banquet events.

Use electric cooking equipment wherever possible for emergency and staff kitchens such as induction cooktops, electric hot plates, electric rice cookers and kettles, the advisory stated.
