"Prime Minister has made the right call," says BJP's Sanjay Saraogi on PM Modi's 7-point appeal

BJP's Sanjay Saraogi backs PM Modi's appeal to cut fuel, gold, and oil use amid West Asia crisis, urging citizens to adopt Swadeshi and work from home.

"The Prime Minister has made the right call that petroleum products should be used as little as possible - Sanjay Saraogi"

Patna, May 11

Bharatiya Janata Party State President Sanjay Saraogi on Monday backed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's seven-point appeal to citizens in view of the ongoing West Asia crisis and said that the "Prime Minister has made the right call."

Speaking to ANI, Saraogi said, "The Prime Minister has made the right call that petroleum products should be used as little as possible, people should work from home... Due to the war in the Gulf countries, prices have increased a lot... Prime Minister Narendra Modi has kept the prices stable in the country. He has said that people should not buy gold for a year... This is in the interest of the nation..."

His remarks come after the Prime Minister made an appeal while addressing a gathering 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.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi 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.

"The same is true for edible oil. We have to spend foreign currency on its import. If every household reduces the use of edible oil, it is a huge contribution to patriotism. This will improve the health of the national treasury and the health of every family member," PM Modi said.

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.

Interesting approach from India's leadership. As someone working in a multinational here, I can see the logic behind reducing imports during global instability. But asking people not to buy gold for a year - that's a big ask! Gold is deeply cultural here, not just an investment. Let's see how this plays out.

I appreciate the sentiment but reducing cooking oil use? We're already using minimal oil in our traditional cooking. And many families can't afford to suddenly switch to natural farming. These appeals sound good in speeches but the ground reality is different. The government should provide concrete support for these transitions. 🤔

As an expat living in Bengaluru, I find the work-from-home advice very sensible. Many IT companies here are already doing it. But the gold ban seems extreme - isn't that going to hit small jewellers hard? The PM should balance national interest with local economic impacts. Still, better than raising taxes on fuel like some countries are doing.

This is exactly the kind of leadership we need in tough times! The PM is asking us to be self-reliant and think about the nation first. I've already switched to car-pooling with colleagues and it's saving us thousands every month. Swadeshi products are also high quality now, so why not support them? Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

I'm studying in Delhi and this makes me think about how global events affect us locally. The PM's emphasis on public transport is great - our metro system is world-class. But asking people in rural areas to work from home? Most don't have that option. The policy needs to
