"Entire nation stands united behind PM Modi": UP Minister Danish Ansari backs 'seven appeals' amid West Asia crisis

UP Minister Danish Ansari supports PM Modi's seven appeals on fuel, farming, and imports amid West Asia crisis, urging national unity.

"Whenever he appeals to the common people of the country regarding a matter of national interest, the entire nation stands united behind him. - Danish Ansari"

Lucknow, May 12

Uttar Pradesh Minister Danish Ansari on Tuesday expressed support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent "seven appeals" aimed at addressing the West Asia crisis, stating that people across the country have historically responded positively to the Prime Minister's calls on matters of national interest.

Speaking to ANI, Ansari said PM Modi had consistently worked towards the country's development, progress and prosperity since 2014, describing his efforts as unprecedented.

"The manner in which our nation's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi--continuously since 2014--has worked to ensure the country's development and progress, and has strived for its prosperity, is truly unprecedented. It is with this mindset that PM Modi has issued an appeal to the citizens of the nation. Whenever he appeals to the common people of the country regarding a matter of national interest, the entire nation stands united behind him," said Ansari.

His remarks come after the Prime Minister made an appeal in Secunderabad on Sunday, urging citizens to prioritise work from home, cut fuel consumption, avoid foreign travel for a year, adopt Swadeshi products, reduce cooking oil use, shift to natural farming and curb gold purchases.

He stressed the need to reduce dependence on imports and said every household should cut down on edible oil consumption and move towards natural farming to help save foreign currency and protect the environment.

Highlighting the burden of fertiliser imports, the Prime Minister said India spends a significant amount of foreign exchange on importing chemical fertilisers and urged farmers to reduce their usage.

To combat the volatility of fuel prices, PM Modi urged a shift in how India moves. He urged citizens to reduce petrol and diesel consumption by using the metro and public transport wherever available, opting for car-pooling when private vehicles are necessary, preferring railway transport for the movement of goods, and increasing the use of electric vehicles wherever possible.

I appreciate the sentiment but asking everyone to stop foreign travel for a year? Many people have planned family trips or work commitments. And reducing cooking oil consumption? That's basic necessity in Indian kitchens. The ideas are good in principle but execution matters. Can't just expect blanket compliance without alternatives.

West Asia crisis is hitting India hard. Our oil imports are causing inflation and rupee weakening. PM Modi's appeal to reduce fuel and import dependence is timely. But carpooling won't work for everyone - rural India needs different solutions. The 'Swadeshi' call is strong though! We need more local manufacturing. đź‘Ź

This is a very India-centric approach that makes sense. When the US had oil crises, they raised CAFE standards and pushed for renewables. Modi's mix of lifestyle changes and policy signals is creative. But will the state governments actually enforce this? Or just another photo op? The proof is in implementation.

Western media won't understand - this is about collective resilience! India's strength has always been unity in crisis. Cutting gold imports? Makes sense since we're the biggest consumers and it drains forex. Work from home? Already doing it post-COVID. Natural farming? Our ancestors knew best. Modi ji is reviving Indian wisdom! 🚀

The edible oil point hits home. We import 60% of our cooking oil - palm from Indonesia, soybean from Argentina. This is ridiculous for an agricultural nation! If even 10% of households switch to local oils like mustard, groundnut, coconut, it would save billions. But the transition needs subsidies and awareness campaigns. Good first step.
