Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said the global energy supply chain has been affected due to the conflict in West Asia and appealed to the people to not panic, expressing confidence of overcoming the crisis.
Amid shortage in LPG supplies and opposition accusing the Centre of “failing” to prepare for disruptions in energy supplies, the prime minister said the government always puts the interests of Indians above everything.
Addressing a NDA rally, Modi said: Today, I would like to speak to the people of Tamil Nadu about the conflict in West Asia. It has affected the whole world’s energy supply chain. We believe in the ideology of India first.
In any situation, we have seen how our government always puts the interests of Indians above everything. Even in these times, our approach will be the same. There is no need to panic or pay attention to rumours. I would like to appeal to the people, let us spread only correct and verified information.
During Covid pandemic, 140 crore Indians showed the world how mature our nation is. I am confident that as a nation, we will navigate every situation successfully.” Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin and his Kerala counterpart Pinarayi Vijayan sought Modi’s intervention to ensure an uninterrupted LPG supply and mitigate the impact of price rise.
