Rahul Gandhi says PM avoiding debate on economic impact of West Asia war

Speaking to reporters in the Parliament complex, the Congress leader said the war in the region was already affecting India’s economic stability and putting pressure on household finances. “The war underway in West Asia is causing serious damage to our economy, but our compromised Prime Minister does not have the courage to discuss it,” he said.

‎Gandhi linked the conflict to recent economic pressures, pointing to fluctuations in the financial markets and rising fuel costs. “The stock market is falling, LPG prices are rising, and global crude oil prices are reaching historic levels — all of which are directly affecting the common man, household budgets, and small and medium businesses,” he said.
