Modi accuses opposition of spreading panic over Iran war

Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the opposition of spreading rumors and creating panic during the Iran war and broader Middle East crisis. He claimed their actions were intended to foment anarchy and defame him.

Speaking at a gathering in Bhildi, Banaskantha, Modi stated that the country was united in its efforts to address the crisis and achieve the goal of Viksit Bharat. He noted that some individuals were unhappy with the progress and sought to keep the nation in turmoil.

Modi alleged that his political opponents were spreading fears about shortages of fertilizers and cooking gas, disrupting the lives of ordinary citizens. He claimed these actions were part of a broader plan to incite anarchy and damage his reputation.

The Prime Minister emphasized that the government had ensured farmers continued to receive fertilizers despite rising global prices. He highlighted that Indian farmers received urea at a fraction of the global cost, with the government bearing the financial burden.

Modi also pointed out that while the global price of diammonium phosphate (DAP) had exceeded Rs 5,000, Indian farmers were still receiving it for Rs 1,350. He reiterated his commitment to serving the people until his last breath.

The remarks followed a political controversy sparked by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s comment suggesting Modi’s imminent exit. Modi used the occasion to reaffirm his dedication to public service.
