JAMMU, May 12: J&K BJP media in charge, Dr. Pardeep Mahotra termed Prime Minister, Narendra Modi’s appeal to citizens to reduce petrol and diesel consumption and refrain from non-essential gold purchases for one year as a visionary and farsighted intervention aimed at safeguarding India’s economic stability during a highly sensitive global phase.
Dr. Pardeep Mahotra said that the timing of the Prime Minister’s appeal carries immense strategic and political importance as the world is witnessing geopolitical instability, rising crude oil prices, supply-chain disruptions, inflationary pressures and growing uncertainty due to conflicts in West Asia and other regions. He stated that responsible leadership is measured by its ability to anticipate challenges before they become crises and PM Modi has once again demonstrated farsighted statesmanship by preparing the nation in advance.
Dr. Pardeep stated that India imports a significant portion of its crude oil and gold requirements, which directly impacts the country’s foreign exchange reserves. At a time when global oil prices are volatile and international trade routes remain vulnerable, the Prime Minister’s call to reduce fuel dependency is not only economically wise but strategically crucial for maintaining India’s financial strength and policy independence.
Dr. Pardeep Mahotra said the Prime Minister’s appeal reflects a broader political vision of building a self-reliant and economically secure India under the mission of “Viksit Bharat 2047”.
