Leaders across the nation, including the Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his remarks asking citizens to take steps to tackle the challenges arising from the West Asia conflict, saying that the "compromised PM" is no longer fit to run the country. The leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha said the prime minister's words were "evidence of failure".
Yesterday, unfortunately, PM Narendra Modi called upon the public to make sacrifices -- do not buy gold, do not travel abroad, consume less petrol, cut down on fertilisers and cooking oil, take the Metro, and work from home.What does it mean ? These are not words of counsel; they are evidence of failure.
Over a span of 12 years, the country has been brought to such a juncture that the public now has to be told what to buy and what not to buy, where to go and where not to go. Time and again, the PM Naendra Modi shifts the responsibility onto the public to evade their own accountability. The 'Compromised PM' is no longer capable of running the country.
Modi making remarks urging citizens to use petroleum products judiciously, the prime minister is clueless about ensuring India's energy security even after three months into the US-Iran war. It is "shameless, reckless and downright immoral" that the prime minister is pushing people into inconvenience, rather than building contingency plans to ensure the country's economy is unaffected by this global crisis.
The Centre is trying to shield people from the adverse impact of the West Asia conflict, Prime Minister Modi on Sunday unnecessarily called for judicious use of fuel, postponement of gold purchases and foreign travel, among other measures, to strengthen the economy. Instead of taking due precautions as usual, Modi put the people to acute inconvenience and confusion.
Narendra Modi suggested reducing petrol and diesel consumption, using metro rail services in cities, carpooling, increased use of electric vehicles, utilising railway services for parcel movement, and working from home to conserve foreign exchange amid the crisis in West Asia.
Stressing the need to save foreign exchange due to the crisis, Modi called for postponing the purchase of gold and foreign travel for one year. "We have to save foreign exchange by any means," he said, adding that due to the West Asia conflict, prices of petrol and fertilisers have increased significantly.
When there is pressure on the supply chain, difficulties increase despite various government measures to address the situation. Where is the laxity and to compensate the loss to the exchequer. "That's why, during a global crisis, keeping the country above all else, India has to take resolutions.
We learnt during medical emergencies while work-from-home, virtual meetings, video conferencing, and many other methods during Covid-19. Infact, we got used to them. There is no need of the hour to resume those methods, as to why Modi is confusing the commoner. Has he been appraised by Israel that another war is on the way?
PM's calling for reduction in edible oil consumption, lowering the use of chemical fertilisers, promoting natural farming and Swadeshi products to save foreign exchange and make the country self-reliant.
Does it give scope for his government's bankruptcy and confusing the nation?
