Mamata Banerjee Leads Kolkata Protest Over LPG Shortage and Price Hike

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee led a protest march in Kolkata against the alleged LPG shortage and price hike, criticizing the central government for inadequate preparation amid global energy disruptions linked to the West Asia conflict. The rally, starting from College Square to Dorina Crossing, drew thousands and highlighted concerns over democratic rights and election-related issues. While Banerjee blamed the Modi government, some bystanders attributed the crisis to global factors beyond India's control.
