AAP's national convenor Arvind Kejriwal has made a scathing attack on the central government regarding the shortage and rising prices of LPG gas in the country. During the press conference in Delhi, Kejriwal said that today the country is going through a serious crisis. There is a huge shortage of LPG in the country. The reason for this is the foreign policy of the current government of the country. Due to which the country is going through this crisis today.
Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that gas production in the country has reduced by about 50 percent, while about 60 percent of the consumption is met by imports. He claims that about 90 percent of the imports used to come from the Strait of Hormuz, due to which the supply is currently affected. Its biggest impact is on the hotel and restaurant industry. Restaurants cannot keep much stock of gas and have to depend on daily supply.
Kejriwal said that about 20 percent of the hotels and restaurants in Mumbai have been closed, while in Tamil Nadu almost thousands of hotels and restaurants are on the verge of closure. Similarly, thousands of hotels are facing closure in Punjab and NCR also. Kejriwal said that out of 650 industries in Morbi, Gujarat, about 170 have been closed, due to which lakhs of people have become unemployed. He alleged that recently the government has increased the prices of domestic and commercial gas, due to which the situation has worsened.
Raising questions on foreign policy, Kejriwal said that India's traditional non-aligned policy has been abolished. He said that in case of war, one should not have taken the side of any one country, but PM Modi appeared in favor of America and Israel, due to which old friendly countries like Iran got angry. He alleged that PM Modi is working under pressure from the US. If the PM has any kind of fear then he should resign from his post.

He said that India was economically weak at the time of independence, but was respected in the world. Giving the example of the 1971 war, Kejriwal said that despite the threats from America, the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had taken decisions in the interest of the country. Whereas the foreign policy of the current government has damaged the country's image. He said that the Prime Minister ended the non-alignment policy, which was the foundation of India's foreign policy for the last 75 years, in a few days.
Arvind Kejriwal has also made a big attack on the Central Government and PM Modi. Kejriwal said that the present government has made the country a colony of America. He said that the British ruled because they were weak. Today America has also weakened our country. The current government takes decisions on the orders of America. Buying oil from Russia was stopped only at the behest of America, due to which the country suffered a loss of Rs 8 lakh crore. I don't understand what is the reason that even a lowly officer of America gives orders to our present government.
