Jaipur, May 19 -- Senior Congress leader and former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Tuesday targeted the state government over an alleged severe shortage of petrol, diesel, and LPG cylinders, accusing the administration of "lying" and "misleading" the public instead of addressing the crisis.

Taking on X, Gehlot claimed that petrol pumps, particularly in Jodhpur, are rationing fuel and many have completely run dry, causing widespread panic and long queues.

"Yesterday, several visitors who had come from Jodhpur to meet me at my residence said that petrol and diesel are being supplied in limited quantities at petrol pumps, and fuel is completely unavailable at many stations," Gehlot said.
