Imran Masood slams Modi's austerity appeal: 'Sacrifice only from public'
Congress MP Imran Masood on Tuesday, 13 May 2025, sharply criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal to citizens to conserve fuel, avoid non-essential purchases including gold, and adopt austerity measures amid the ongoing global economic crisis. Masood alleged that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was placing the entire burden of sacrifice on ordinary citizens while continuing to spend lavishly on large-scale government events.
Masood's Core Allegation
The Congress leader directly challenged the Prime Minister's moral authority to ask for public austerity.
