Jagran correspondent, Atraulia (Azamgarh). State Government's Panchayati Raj Minister Omprakash Rajbhar has said that the opposition parties are trying to mislead the public by saying there is shortage of oil and cylinders. Global conditions, particularly the ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel, have impacted international oil supplies, causing temporary problems. The central government is trying to overcome this challenge.

The ships carrying oil for India have left the sea and the supply will return to normal soon. The Panchayati Raj Minister appealed to the general public not to panic and store oil unnecessarily.

SP National President Akhilesh Yadav, while replying to the question about 'earthen stove' posted on internet media, said that it is a white lie.

If that house is investigated, ten cylinders will be found. Those people who have no shortage of gas cylinders in their homes are spreading the illusion among the common people that there is a shortage of cylinders.

Panchayati Raj Minister, while talking to journalists on Friday at Inspection Building in Atraulia, said that when two big countries get embroiled in conflict, it impacts other countries too and the current situation is also a result of that. Said that adequate quantity of oil will be made available to everyone, only there is a need to maintain patience.

Said that petrol pump operators should not put up 'No Stock' board without any concrete reason. This will spread unnecessary rumors and increase crowd at petrol pumps.

Said that the objective of the government is to provide relief to the general public, not to create crisis. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is continuously communicating at the international level, so that oil supply can be ensured from alternative sources.
