While the government talks about development, common people are worried about how they will cook food at home due to gas shortage, he said. Several eateries have remained shut due to a disruption in gas supply, he said.
Referring to the ongoing session, he said the legislature canteen was closed even as the House functioned till around 1 a.m. on Wednesday, and many hotels outside the premises at Nariman Point in south Mumbai were also shut due to the alleged shortage.
He claimed that nearly 30% of hotels in Mumbai and Nagpur have been closed because of the gas shortage, affecting economic activity.
