Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday said there is no shortage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders in the state, accusing Congress of spreading panic that has led to long queues at LPG distribution centres.

“The long queues are not because of the lack of shortage of LPG but the panic Congress has created, confusing people, forcing them to stand in line. The central government, secretaries have clarified that there is no shortage by Congress conspiring to mislead the country,” said Mr. Fadnavis, who also holds the Home Minister portfolio.
