Demanding purchase of Gas Stove & cooker to issue new connection

I approached Balaji gas agency at MS Koil Street, Royapuram at chennai, for getting new domestic LPG connection today. The person Ms. Umayal, there asked me to buy an LPG stove and an Electric Rice cooker from them. When I said I do not require them, she said "in that case she can"t give connection to me"and she shouted at me and insulted me. I am an MBBS Doctor. If even a Medical officer is treated like this at one of your BharatGas outlets, then what will be the fate of other common man visiting there??? Is purchase of such thigs is mandatory to avail an LPG connection? I would like to have clarification regarding this. I would like to meet some responsible higher officer of Bharat Petroleum to make representation in person. I kindly request you to give me the details of such officers in Chennai, at the earliest. Thankyou... Dr. N.VARADARAJ MBBS
