In a pointed critique of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s comments regarding fuel management, the Congress party lashed out, labeling his message as ‘shameless’ and accusing him of placing the responsibility on the citizens.

Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal led the charge, arguing that with conflicts erupting on three fronts, the government must have a clear plan regarding energy security. Venugopal emphasized that blaming citizens instead of taking proactive governmental measures was inappropriate, especially during such critical times.

The Congress party demanded that the government implement a robust strategy to address energy concerns, rather than shifting the burden to the public. They urged for comprehensive policies that ensure sustainable energy use without exacerbating the existing challenges.

The criticism also highlighted perceived gaps in the government’s approach to handling the ongoing geopolitical tensions and their impact on fuel supply and prices. Congress insists on transparency and accountability, stressing that concrete action is necessary to reassure the nation.
