why did the industry minister suddenly resign?

Answered by Chito · asked 6 times

Industry Minister Gauri Kumari Yadav resigned following escalating tensions over an ongoing cooking gas crisis and controversial statements she made against gas bottlers and bureaucrats. Amid the shortages, Minister Yadav had accused ministry bureaucrats of colluding with industrialists, proposed establishing a state-owned gas plant, and threatened strict action against private bottlers. Her remarks triggered intense backlash from the LP Gas Industry Association, with industry leaders threatening to hand over their operations to the government. Citing non-cooperation from both industrialists and ministry staff, she stepped down, and Deepak Kumar Sah was appointed to replace her.
