UP's deputy CM accuses Akhilesh Yadav of unpatriotic behavior over LPG criticism amid global energy crisis.

Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya questioned the patriotism of Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav over criticism of the government's LPG supply, accusing him and other opposition leaders of spreading panic during a global energy crisis linked to the West Asia conflict. Maurya said LPG bookings have risen to 88 lakh cylinders daily due to international supply issues, not government failure, and claimed opposition remarks were undermining national stability. He also asserted the BJP is gaining ground in West Bengal, while the Trinamool Congress loses support, accusing it of relying on Muslim appeasement tactics.
