Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his silence on high US tariffs affecting Indian industries, including those in Gujarat. He also condemned the Rs 50 hike in LPG prices. The Congress reaffirmed its commitment to the values of Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel at the CWC meeting.

On Tuesday, Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi expressed strong criticism towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi, particularly highlighting his silence on the US-imposed tariffs affecting Indian exports, significantly impacting industries in Gujarat. Gogoi's comments came during a break from the Congress Working Committee meeting in Ahmedabad.

The deputy leader in the Lok Sabha also took a firm stance against the recent increase in LPG cylinder prices by Rs 50, arguing that this decision exacerbates the economic burden on ordinary citizens, especially since crude prices have fallen internationally.
