NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi after he urged citizens to postpone gold purchases, reduce fuel consumption and avoid foreign travel, calling the appeal evidence of “failure”.”Yesterday, Modi ji asked the public to make sacrifices—don’t buy gold, don’t go abroad, use less petrol, cut down on fertiliser and cooking oil, take the metro, work from home. These aren’t sermons—they’re proof of failure,” Rahul Gandhi said in a post on X.The leader of olpposition in the Lok Sabha said the appeal exposed the limits of PM Modi’s decade-long tenure. “In 12 years, he’s brought the country to such a pass that the public now has to be told—what to buy, what not to buy, where to go, where not to go. Every time, they shift the responsibility onto the people just so they can wriggle out of accountability themselves. Running the country is no longer within the remit of a Compromised PM,” he added.The remarks came after PM Modi, addressing a BJP rally in Hyderabad on Sunday, called for a series of economic sacrifices from the public, citing the ongoing conflict in West Asia and its pressure on India’s foreign exchange reserves.The Prime Minister urged citizens to reduce petrol and diesel consumption, use metro services, carpool, shift to electric vehicles and work from home where possible. He also asked people to postpone gold purchases and foreign travel for one year and reduce the use of edible oil and chemical fertilisers.”We have to save foreign exchange by any means,” PM Modi said at the rally, drawing a parallel with behavioural changes adopted during the Covid-19 pandemic. “We got into work-from-home, virtual meetings, video conferencing, and many other methods during Covid-19. We got habituated to them. The need of the hour is to resume those methods.”The PM framed the measures as a national duty during a global crisis, saying the West Asia conflict had driven up prices of petrol and fertilisers significantly, straining supply chains despite government interventions.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

A total of 52,910 daily wage earners died by suicide during the year, marking a sharp rise from the previous peak of 26.4% recorded in 2022.Casual labourers, a category that largely includes daily wage earners, constituted nearly one-fifth of and the biggest share of India’s total workforce. The total number of suicide deaths in the country rose to 1.7 lakh in 2024, compared with 1.34 lakh in 2015..A comparative analysis of suicide deaths since 2015 shows that daily wage earners, housewives and the self-employed continue to account for the three largest categories under “suicide victims by profession”. However, the share of suicides among housewives and the self-employed has declined over the past decade.Similarly, the share of suicide deaths among persons engaged in the farming sector fell from 8.7% in 2016 to 6.2% in 2024. The farming category was introduced in the NCRB’s Accidental Deaths and Suicides in India report in 2016.According to the 2024 NCRB report, Tamil Nadu recorded the highest number of suicides among daily wage earners at 10,556 — nearly one-fifth of all such deaths in the country — followed by Maharashtra (6,811), Telangana (5,745), Madhya Pradesh (5,299) and Chhattisgarh (3,413). Among Union Territories, Delhi reported the highest number of such deaths at 343.The report also noted that 62.9% of suicide victims in 2024 — around 1.1 lakh persons — had an annual income of less than Rs 1 lakh. Among the causes of suicide, “family problems” remained the leading reason, accounting for 35% of all deaths, followed by “illness” at 17.9%.The major means adopted for deaths by suicide was hanging (62.3%), consuming poison (24.5%), drowning (4.4%) and by coming under running vehicles or trains (2.5%).End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos‘Use Petrol Sparingly’: PM Modi Calls For WFH, Carpooling Amid West Asia WarFormer Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee’s Anti-BJP Unity Call Rejected By Left, Congress In Bengal TwistWill Vijay Join INDIA Bloc? ‘Secular’ Speech Sparks Fresh Political Speculation | WatchSuspended TMC Leader Riju Dutta Praises Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari For Preventing Post-Poll ViolenceIndia Tests Advanced Agni-5 MIRV Missile With 5,000 KM Range, Multiple Warhead Capability | WatchPM Modi Urges Indians To Save Fuel As West Asia War Triggers Massive Oil CrisisBJP Bengal Chief Samik Bhattacharya Launches Sharp Attack On TMC Amid I-PAC ControversyVijay Faces Political Storm After Vande Mataram Played Before Tamil Thaai VaazhthuSecurity Scare In Bengaluru Ahead Of PM Modi Visit After Explosives Recovery | WatchSatheesan-Venugopal Face-Off Delays Congress Decision On Kerala Chief Minister123Photostories5 most common reasons fire alarms start beeping unexpectedlyUS turns 250: Where to witness best celebrations across South America in 2026Mother’s Day special: The everyday superfoods that help moms stay energised, strong, and healthy through life’s endless demandsGestational Diabetes may end after pregnancy, but its hidden impact on thyroid health could last for yearsPoet Kumar Vishwas’ lavish Noida bungalow is a five-floor, crores-worth property defined by private salon, lifts and artistic interiorsYour mum said it first! 5 health tips now backed by scienceIs fibremaxxing healthy?
