In Ranchi, Congress spokesperson Rakesh Sinha unleashed a blistering critique of the Modi government’s foreign policy claims, labeling them ‘utterly hollow.’ Dismissing narratives of bolstered relations with Middle Eastern countries during the US-Iran tensions, Sinha spotlighted the paradox of India’s deepening fuel woes.
During an IANS interview, Sinha challenged: ‘Relations improved with Gulf nations? Then explain the oil shortage crippling households.’ He portrayed the government’s spin as a desperate bid to conceal incompetence, with everyday Indians footing the bill.
Particular ire was reserved for the Ujjwala program’s beneficiaries, now mired in gas access hurdles. ‘The center turns a blind eye while people suffer,’ Sinha fumed.
Delving deeper, Sinha referenced Iran’s candid admission: the Hormuz reopening stemmed from affection for Indians, not diplomatic maneuvering. ‘We’ve won neither hearts nor trust in the Gulf,’ he asserted.
Today, gas lines snake through cities, shortages hit peak, yet official responses ring empty. ‘Foreign policy failure is total. This regime lacks legitimacy after zero accomplishments,’ Sinha proclaimed.
Sinha’s salvo underscores a broader discontent: as global conflicts rage, domestic realities paint a picture of neglect. With public frustration mounting, the Congress leader’s call for truth cuts through the propaganda, demanding answers for a nation in distress.
