Published by Parlour News

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday (March 31, 2026) said the Congress, like “Rajneeti ke gidh” (vultures of politics), is attempting to exploit the West Asia conflict by triggering panic among the people for political gain, asserting that India has managed the situation efficiently. Addressing a large gathering at Nani village in the newly created Vav Tharad district, Mr. Modi accused Congress of indulging in rumour-mongering and trying to instigate people to queue up at fuel pumps and spread public disorder. “Today, when the nation requires unity and solidarity, Congress leaders are actively engaged in divisive politics.

Referring to the global situation, Mr. Modi said while many countries are engulfed in war, unrest and instability, India has demonstrated …
