Says govt failed to prepare for Iran tensions impact
Gaikwad alleged that the Centre’s lack of planning and policy preparedness had pushed the country into crisis despite the BJP-led government being in power for the past 12 years. She claimed the government failed to prepare for the economic impact of the ongoing tensions involving Iran and accused the Centre of burdening ordinary citizens with the consequences.
Questioning the Prime Minister’s remarks on austerity, Gaikwad said Modi himself travels in an aircraft worth thousands of crores, uses expensive resources and undertakes foreign tours at public expense while advising citizens to cut down on fuel usage and gold purchases.

The Congress leader also criticised the Centre over rising inflation and fuel prices, stating that petrol and diesel were no longer luxury commodities but essential daily needs for citizens. Referring to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, she claimed that warnings about a possible economic crisis linked to the Iran conflict had already been raised earlier but were ignored by the government.
