Malook Nagar, a leader of the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) party, commended Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his adept handling of the ongoing crisis in West Asia, which involves tensions among the US, Israel, and Iran. He noted that the Prime Minister's proactive measures have shielded India from the crisis's adverse effects. Nagar emphasized Modi's call for increased use of electric vehicles and public transport, which reflects a commitment to sustainable practices and economic resilience. During a recent address in Secunderabad, PM Modi highlighted the need for India to reduce its dependence on imports, particularly edible oils and chemical fertilizers, to conserve foreign currency and enhance public health. He urged citizens to adopt responsible consumption habits, framing this as a new form of patriotism that contributes to the nation's economic health. Modi's appeal for a shift towards sustainable transport options aims to mitigate the impact of fluctuating fuel prices, encouraging the use of metro systems and carpooling.
