New Delhi: Warning of high inflation in the coming weeks, Congress warned Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said the Modi government will increase prices of petrol, diesel and LPG after the coming assembly elections, as he accused the BJP of lacking strategy and direction to manage the country’s economy. The Congress also accused the Modi government of “moral cowardice” and “betrayal of civilizational values” for its “failure to condemn” the US-Israel attack on Iran.In a post on X, Rahul said the weakening of the rupee, which is “moving towards 100” against the dollar, and the sharp rise in industrial fuel prices are a sign of rising inflation.“The government may call it ‘normal’, but the reality is: production and transportation will become more expensive, MSMEs will be hit the most, prices of everyday commodities will rise, and FII money will flow out even faster, putting more pressure on the stock market. In other words, it is sure to have a direct and deep impact on the pockets of every family.”Meanwhile, on completion of 21 days of war in West Asia, Congress spokesperson Jairam Ramesh said, ‘PM Modi has not been able to use his much-publicized friendship with US President Trump and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to bring about a ceasefire.’He asked, “Has the Modi government condoned or criticized the brutal efforts by the US and Israel to force regime change and state collapse, which could lead to civil war in Iran? The answer is no.”
