Don't be swayed by 'misinformation campaign' by opposition on fuel shortage, price hike: BJP

NEW DELHI: (Mar 4) The BJP on Wednesday alleged that some sections in the opposition are running a "misinformation campaign" to create panic through claims of fuel shortages and price spikes amid a "war-like situation" in West Asia, and asked people not to be swayed by it.

The ruling party asserted that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government has ensured that people in India are protected from supply shocks and runaway fuel inflation, despite "global instability".

"Amid the war-like situation in West Asia, sections of the opposition are running a misinformation campaign to create panic around fuel shortages and price spikes. There is no need to be swayed," BJP IT department head Amit Malviya said in a post on X.
