PM Modi accused the Congress of exploiting the West Asia conflict for political gain.
He said India has maintained stability and managing fuel supplies despite disruptions linked to the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict.
Modi emphasised national unity and projected India’s rise as a global leader in renewable energy amid ongoing global instability.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said the Congress, like "Rajneeti ke gidh" (vultures of politics), is attempting to exploit the West Asia conflict by triggering panic among the people for political gain, asserting that India has managed the situation efficiently.
Addressing a large gathering at Nani village in the newly created Vav Tharad district, Modi accused Congress of indulging in rumour-mongering and trying to instigate people to queue up at fuel pumps and spread public disorder.
"Today, when the nation requires unity and solidarity, Congress leaders are actively engaged in divisive politics. When the nation needs reassurance, Congress is busy spreading fear and rumours. When the nation calls for restraint, Congress wants to incite people," PM Modi said.
Like "Rajneeti ke gidh" (vultures of politics), the Congress party is waiting and hoping for escalation of domestic troubles so they can exploit the situation to reap political dividends, he added.
Referring to the global situation, Modi said while many countries are engulfed in war, unrest and instability, India has demonstrated resilience and unity.
"India has always possessed a unique strength. No matter how difficult the times may be, our nation stands united," he said.
Referring to the situation in West Asia triggered by the U.S.-Israel-Iran war, PM Modi said the situation has widespread global repercussions, especially on energy supplies.
"Difficulties regarding energy requirements, especially diesel, petrol and gas, have intensified globally. Yet, even amidst such a crisis, India has successfully kept the situation under control with its strong foreign policy and the collective strength of its citizens," the Prime Minister added.
Modi asserted that India will emerge as a world leader in the renewable energy sector.
