Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal for collective action to address global economic challenges, Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition, expressed strong criticism. Gandhi stated that Modi's demands for public sacrifices—such as reduced petroleum consumption, avoiding gold purchases, and utilizing public transport—are indicative of a government that has failed to manage the economy effectively. He asserted that these measures reflect a shift of responsibility from the government to the citizens, allowing the Prime Minister to escape accountability. Gandhi also reiterated his concerns about Modi's foreign policy and alleged pressure from the United States regarding trade deals, linking this to broader issues of governance. Supporting Gandhi's viewpoint, Akhilesh Yadav, the chief of the Samajwadi Party, described Modi's calls for sacrifices as an admission of failure, questioning how the government plans to achieve its economic goals under such constraints. In a public meeting, Modi had urged citizens to embrace electric vehicles, work-from-home arrangements, and local goods while criticizing the Congress party for its perceived leftist leanings.
