He questions the government's claims of fuel diversification and highlights shortages affecting rural families under the Ujjwala scheme.

• 02Kharge criticized the government's failure to address LPG shortages, particularly for families under the Ujjwala scheme.
• 03The latest price hike increased the cost of a 14.2-kg LPG cylinder in Delhi to ₹942.
• 04The Petroleum and Natural Gas Ministry claims Indian households pay less for LPG compared to neighboring countries and advanced economies.
