Kharge Criticizes Modi's Austerity Amidst Government Spending

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge launched a scathing critique against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of hypocrisy for advising austerity while government expenditure on self-promotion soars.

Kharge pointed out that pensions for India's elderly, widows, and disabled have remained unchanged for over a decade, despite rising living costs.

He alleged that the BJP prioritizes lavish political campaigns over the economic dignity of disadvantaged citizens, criticizing government spending on advertisements and events.
