In response to the ongoing war between the United States and Iran, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged citizens to adopt several lifestyle changes, including working from home and refraining from buying gold for about a year. This appeal, made during a project inauguration in Hyderabad, comes as the conflict has disrupted global energy supplies. Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi criticized Modi's suggestions, labeling them as a 'proof of failure' in governance. He argued that the Prime Minister's inability to manage the economy has forced the public to make sacrifices. Congress leaders echoed this sentiment, with KC Venugopal stating that Modi is 'clueless' about ensuring India's energy security. They called for the government to take necessary steps to alleviate the burden on citizens and suggested an immediate Parliament session to discuss the situation. Modi's appeal also emphasized the need to conserve foreign exchange amidst rising import costs due to the energy crisis, urging people to limit their use of petrol and diesel and to prefer public transportation.
