Akilesh Yadav 'PM Modi?s Fuel-Saving Appeal Signals Failure'

A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal regarding an austerity drive amid the West Asia conflict, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav on Monday alleged that the BJP government had failed in handling both the economy and foreign policy, calling its appeal an "admission of failure".

In a post on X, Yadav said, "As soon as elections are over, the government suddenly remembered the 'crisis'. In reality, there is only one crisis for the country and its name is BJP."

The former Uttar Pradesh chief



minister questioned how the country would achieve the goal of becoming a "five trillion dollar economy" if the government was forced to impose several restrictions. 

"So many restrictions are being imposed, then how will the much-publicised 'five trillion dollar economy' become a reality? It appears the BJP government has completely lost control," he said. 

Claiming that the rupee was weakening sharply against the dollar, Yadav alleged that the BJP government's economic management had collapsed.
