Centre''s ''wrong decisions'' caused severe LPG shortage: TN CM
Chennai (PTI): DMK President and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Sunday flayed the ruling BJP government at the Centre saying that due to its "wrong decisions", there has been a severe LPG shortage across the country.
Due to no vision or no precautionary measures, the BJP government has brought trouble to the general public, Stalin alleged over the shortage of commercial LPG cylinders.
"The Union BJP government which has earned the name Failure Model even in foreign policy has caused a severe cylinder shortage due to its wrong decisions," he wrote in a social media post.

He said in view of the shortage of commercial LPG cylinders the DMK led Secular Progressive Alliance staged protests across the State.
"Realising the anger of the people, the Union government must come forward to rectify the situation," he added.
The DMK-led SPA on Sunday staged statewide protests, criticising the Centre over the shortage of domestic and commercial LPG cylinders across the country.
SPA constituents include Congress, Left parties and the VCK.
Supply constraints of LPG cylinders emerged following the West Asia conflict which intensified from February 28.
