Both engines of the double-engine government have failed – Raghuveer Singh Meena
Udaipur Rural District Congress Protests Fuel Shortages and Rising LPG Prices, Blames Central Government’s Foreign Policies
Udaipur: The Udaipur Rural District Congress Committee held a protest today against the shortage of fuel (petrol, diesel, and cooking gas) across the country and the recent ₹60 increase in domestic LPG cylinder prices, citing the central government’s flawed foreign policies. The protest took place at the Shanti Ji and Anandi Ji memorial in Delhi Gate, where an effigy of the central BJP government was also burned.
Media in-charge Dinesh Audichya stated that the hike in LPG prices and disruption in commercial cylinder supplies during wedding and festive seasons has caused severe difficulties for ordinary citizens. Following directions from the PCC, the district Congress staged a demonstration to highlight these issues. The protest was led by Udaipur Rural District Congress President Raghuveer Singh Meena, who strongly criticized the central government’s policies.
Speaking at the protest, Meena said that while the Modi government claims in Parliament that there is no shortage of gas, the closure of bookings by gas agencies proves the government is misleading the public. Due to these policy failures, household budgets are strained, and small businesses such as restaurants, dhabas, and sweet shops across Udaipur and the country are struggling. The shortage and skyrocketing prices of commercial cylinders have led to unemployment for thousands of youth working in these establishments, putting their families at risk. Meena criticized the government for being insensitive: domestic gas has become expensive for households, and small businesses are facing hardships simultaneously. He emphasized that the central government’s flawed foreign policies are directly affecting ordinary citizens and that the BJP governments at both central and state levels are indifferent to public suffering.
Through the protest, Congress demanded the reversal of the ₹60 LPG price hike and assured that fuel (petrol, diesel, and cooking gas) would be made available to citizens on time. Former MLA Preeti Shaktawat and women Congress workers also staged a symbolic protest by cooking rotis on stoves to highlight rising gas prices.
The demonstration and effigy burning were attended by numerous Congress leaders and workers, including: Raghuveer Singh Meena (District President), Lal Singh Jhala (PCC General Secretary), former MLAs Dr. Mangilal Garasiya and Preeti Gajendra Singh Shaktawat, Sajjan Katara, Jagdish Raj Srimali, Suresh Suthar (PCC General Secretary), Dr. Kaushal Nagda, Dr. Sanjeev Rajpurohit, Dinesh Audichya, block presidents Ram Singh Chadana and Rajendra Kumar Gokhru, Raisa Ram Kher, Khemraj Meena, Rupalal Meena, Onar Singh Sisodia, Kamlesh Patel, Mahendra Singh Ranawat, Kamal Dangi, Rajendra Jain, Ramlal Gayri, Women Congress President Bhagwati Dangi, Kamini Gurjar, Madhu Salvi, Dr. Kalyan Singh Rao, Naval Singh Chundawat, Vimal Bhadaviya, Shivalal Gurjar, Champaran Garasiya, Mavaram, Ganesh Lal Meghwal, Ravi Bhava, Jitesh Khatik, Laxmi Lal Soni, Gopal Singh Chohan, Jamnalal Sharma, Motilal Sharma, Jaguram Meena, Rishabh Jain, Arjun Lal Menaria, Ganpat Lal Sharma, Prakash Meena, Arjun Meghwal, Narayan Janawat, Hajari Lal Rajak, Kamalashankar Kher, Kamal Tanwar, Mod Singh Sisodia, Nana Lal Nagda, Rajesh Pancholi, Prem Labana, Gautam Meena, Mathuresh Nagda, Yashwant Choudhary, Ravi Khatik, Ratan Lal Purbiya, Sunil Kumar Bhajat, Lalit Gurjar, Amar Singh Jhala, Shankar Lal Meena, Niranjan Choudhary, Ramlal Bumberia, Virendra Prajapat, Gorav Sharma, Shanta Prince, Shivraj Singh Dhabai, Bhagwan Lal Ahir, Thawar Chand Damor, Lokesh Meena, Istiyak Chanchal, Hidayatullah, Omprakash Gameti, Omprakash Dangi, Anwar Husain, Yasmin, Gotulal, Bhanwar Lal Jain, Hidasu Jain, Gajendra Kothari, Aziz Khan Pathan, Laxminarayan Meghwal, Laxminarayan Purohit, Sachin Gurjar, Nishant Gameti, Dalchand Gameti, Sujal Meena, Lokesh Meena, Kishan Singh Chundawat, Lav Choudhary, Hazararam Meena, Ganesh Sharma, Rajkumar, Sandeep Meena, Vikas Ahari, Narendra Paneri, Gopal Sarpata, Dhanpal Jain, Asha Husain, Sharda Daivi, Chandu Joshi, Chunnilal Bhil, Prem Kumar Meena, Roshan Gaud, Titu Suthar, Pramod Mainariya, Shyam Sundar Gurjar, Madhav Singh Chohan, Narendra Singh Guhil, Bablu Tank, Modilal Sembara, Mahendra Damor, and many other office-bearers and Congress workers.
