‘Proofs of Failure’: Rahul Gandhi on PM Modi's WFH, Other Appeals Amid US-Iran War
Gandhi called Modi’s advice evidence of failure, saying the government should build contingency plans instead of asking people to cut spending and travel.
On Monday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his remarks urging citizens to make sacrifices amid the West Asia conflict, saying the "compromised PM" is no longer capable of running India.
Citing price increases amid three months of the US-Iran war, Prime Minister Modi urged citizens to use fuel judiciously and postpone gold purchases and foreign travel to save foreign exchange.
Calling the Prime Minister's words "evidence of failure," Gandhi criticized the list of sacrifices, which includes reduced petrol consumption, curtailed travel, and working from home.
The Congress slammed the administration as "shameless, reckless and downright immoral," arguing the Prime Minister is pushing citizens into inconvenience rather than building contingency plans to protect the economy.
Over a span of 12 years, Gandhi claimed the country has reached a juncture where citizens must adhere to mandates including postponing gold purchases and foreign travel for one year.
