According to a post by BRS on 'X', KTR warned that the shortage is severely affecting hotels, eateries, hostels and small food businesses.

"The PM's rhetoric in Kerala is far from the reality that the country is facing. The war has reached every kitchen in this country. Restaurants are closing due to a shortage. This is affecting every sector. The assurance of the govt was that there was ample stock. Today, there is an actual crisis because of the negligence of this govt. One crore Indians are in Gulf countries, and we are concerned about their safety and livelihood. War has created hardship for them. We want the government to take proactive measures," he told ANI.

BJP leaders on Wednesday hit back at Congress over its spokesperson Supriya Shrinate's allegation that Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had resorted to artificial intelligence to show good roads in Assam and said the "entire Cong ecosystem has so much contempt for Assam" and the people of state "will remember this insult".

Calling Jagan "anti-development," Minister Nara Lokesh further remarked that such actions show hostility towards the aspirations of Andhra Pradesh's youth, who are looking for opportunities in emerging technology sectors.

Kerala Education Minister V Sivankutty on Wednesday alleged that the Union government has "deliberately excluded" state ministers from the inauguration ceremony of National Highway 66, despite the state contributing around Rs 5,580 crore for land acquisition for the project, among other contributions.
