Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said war-like conditions and global tensions are affecting countries around the world, but the centre is working to ensure that Indian citizens face minimal hardship. While addressing a gathering during his visit to Assam ahead of the assembly election, PM Modi stated that the priority of the government is to reduce the impact of the West Asia conflict on the people of India.
"Nowadays, conditions of war prevail all around the world. Our government is making every possible effort to ensure that the citizens of our country face the fewest hardships possible. Our objective is to minimise the impact of this war on the nation's citizens," the prime minister said.
He lashed out at Congress, stating that the party had failed to act responsibly in a critical situation. "At this critical juncture, it was expected that the Congress party would fulfil the role of a responsible political entity. However, Congress has once again failed in this vital task concerning the national interest," Modi said.
Opposition attempting to create panic: PM Modi
According to the prime minister, the opposition was trying to create panic in the country. “The Congress is making every attempt to create panic within the country, hoping the nation gets entangled in difficulties, so that they can subsequently heap endless abuse upon PM Modi,” he said.
Modi also alleged that forces across the world that are uncomfortable with India’s rapid development are influencing the opposition. “The forces across the globe that are unable to digest India's rapid development, the Congress is increasingly becoming a mere puppet in the hands of these very forces,” he said, urging citizens and youth in Assam to remain cautious of the party.
