PM Modi accused the Congress party of acting as a "puppet" of forces that are unable to accept India's rapid development, alleging that the opposition was attempting to create panic in the country at a time when global tensions and war-like conditions are prevailing in several regions.
Addressing a gathering in Silchar today, the Prime Minister said the government is making every effort to shield Indian citizens from the adverse effects of global conflicts and economic disruptions. However, he criticised the Congress for failing to act responsibly in the national interest.
