In a fiery address, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of not prioritizing India's interests amid a sharp increase in LPG and fuel prices. Gandhi alleged that Modi's administration is yielding to international pressures, particularly from America and Israel, rather than fighting for the citizens.

The Kollam assembly seat is witnessing a fierce battle with UDF, LDF, and NDA contesting. Congress is fielding Bindu Krishna, challenging Communist Party's N Jayamohan and NDA's Prathap Kumar. Priyanka Gandhi criticized Modi's leadership as compromised and called for a new political approach, emphasizing Congress's readiness to offer solutions.

The rising cost of LPG cylinders, with significant hikes in commercial and smaller variants, has strained household budgets. As Kerala approaches elections, Gandhi touted UDF's 'five Indira guarantees', promising free bus travel for women, pension for the elderly, and interest-free business loans to spur economic growth in the state.
