the LPG gas we used is hydrocarbon which requires oxygen to burn .
The blue flame shows that the gas is burning properly, whereas if oxygen is less then yellow flame is produced which shows that gas is wasted.
So to allow passage of oxygen kerosene an Bunsen burner have small holes

You must have noticed that kerosene in lamp burns with a yellow flame while kerosene burns with a blue flame in a stove.
This difference is due to presence and absence of oxygen. In absence of constant supply of oxygen, kerosene gives rise to yellow flame while the kerosene in stove burns with blue flame due to the constant supply of oxygen by the holes present in the wick of the stove.
