Congress hits back at Modi over spend less plea and tells Adani Ambani to help India

One leader calls it a post election lecture

Congress leader V Hanumantha Rao derided Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s request that citizens “spend less,” targeting calls to curb fuel and gold consumption. He argued instead that India’s business leaders should step up. Telangana BJP chief N Ramchander Rao defended the stance, citing the need to conserve foreign exchange amid global fuel price swings and saying India has managed better.
