In a recent session of the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition, targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asserting that the PM appears to be anxious. Speaking to reporters within the parliamentary premises, Gandhi remarked that while Modi urges the public not to panic, he himself seems unsettled due to issues like the Adani controversy and the 'Epstein files'.


Concerns Over Gas Shortages

Gandhi further indicated that this fear is preventing the Prime Minister from participating in the House discussions. The ongoing crisis in West Asia has raised concerns about potential shortages of cooking gas in the country. In response, Modi had called on the public to remain patient and to rely solely on accurate information.
