Former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda has sharply criticized Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for his dismissive comments regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi's austerity measures, which are seen as a response to the ongoing geopolitical crisis involving Iran, Israel, and the United States. Speaking to reporters in Hassan, Gowda stressed that the current conflict, which has persisted for over 40 days, is unprecedented and should be taken seriously. He drew parallels to the 1971 India-Pakistan war, recalling how then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi urged citizens to make personal sacrifices during economic hardships. He noted that sugar was priced at ₹18 per kg and kerosene at ₹12 per litre during that time. Gowda characterized Modi's current appeal for resource conservation as “responsible and measured,” aimed at helping citizens navigate through these difficult circumstances.
