Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday (April 6, 2026) alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi government has dealt with the “LPG gas crisis” just like it handled the COVID-19 pandemic as it is “devoid of policy, full of grand announcements”, and places the "entire burden" upon the poor.
The Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha asked why it is always the poor who perish first in every crisis and urged people to not remain silent.

“Modi Ji had said: 'We will handle the LPG gas crisis just like we handled Covid.’ And indeed, that is exactly what he did. Precisely like Covid — devoid of policy, full of grand announcements, and placing the entire burden upon the poor,” Mr. Gandhi said in a post in Hindi on X.
For migrant labourers earning a daily wage of ₹500-800, cooking gas has become completely unaffordable, he said.
