Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 30 accused Opposition parties of spreading rumours about potential LPG and fertiliser shortages amid the ongoing West Asia conflict. Addressing a gathering in Bhildi, Gujarat’s Banaskantha district, he alleged that some people find happiness when India faces difficulties and use crises to damage his government’s reputation. Modi said claims that households would struggle to obtain cooking gas and farmers would lack fertilisers were intended to create panic. He reiterated his commitment to public service and highlighted the government’s efforts to protect farmers and citizens from the conflict’s economic impact. (PC: HT)
