11 years of Modi govt full of lies, unfulfilled promises: Rajasthan LoP Tika Ram Jully
Jully criticised the government for failing to fulfil its promises, including providing 2 crore jobs every year, depositing Rs 15 lakh in people's accounts, bringing back black money, cleaning the River Ganga, and making diesel, petrol, and LPG cheaper.
While speaking to ANI on Wednesday, Jully said, 'Look, the 11 years of Modi ji have been full of lies, misleading the public, harassing the common man. The promises made to the public, whether it is the promise of giving 2 crore jobs every year, or the promise of depositing 15 lakhs in the accounts, or the promise of bringing back black money within 100 days, or the talk of cleaning the Ganga Maayya, or the talk of making diesel, petrol and LPG cheaper, or the talk of making the dollar equal to the rupee. Or the talk of ending corruption and terrorism, all remained unfulfilled. Whether it is doubling the income of farmers, giving concrete houses to every poor, hundreds of such promises were made by Modi ji, none of which were fulfilled. Not even one came to reality.'
The Leader of Opposition in Rajasthan also questioned the government's focus on 2047, saying that the public had given them only 5 years to work.
'Now they have started talking about 2047...hey, who has seen 2047. The public had given you 5 years; you have to work within that. Today, you have started talking about 2047, but the public did not give you the opportunity to 2047. Tell us your action plan for the next 5 years, so that the public gets relief,' Jully demanded.
Julie further criticised the government's foreign policy, citing Operation Sindoor and the treatment of Indians in the US. The LoP also praised Indira Gandhi's courage, implying that the current government lacks the same level of leadership.
'You saw Operation Sindoor, no country in the world stood with us. Modi ji did so many foreign trips in 11 years, despite that, not even a single country stood with us. Now our children who have gone to America they being treated like terrorists. Pakistan is getting support everywhere in the world, but people are not standing with us. This is a serious issue; only talk will not work, you will have to show it by working. One should have courage like Indira Gandhi ji,' he said. (ANI)

Donald Trump signals U.S. may not impose secondary tariffs on India over Russian oil
New York President Donald Trump has indicated that the U.S. may not impose secondary tariffs on countries continuing to procure Russia crude oil. There were apprehensions that additional secondary tariffs would have hit India in case the U.S. decided to enforce them. Trump-Putin Alaska Summit Highlights "Well, he (Russian President Vladimir Putin) lost an oil client, so to speak, which is India, which was doing about 40 per cent of the oil. China, as you know, is doing a lot…And if I did what's called a secondary sanction, or a secondary tariff, it would be very devastating from their standpoint. If I have to do it, I'll do it. Maybe I won't have to do it,' Mr. Trump said on Friday (August 15, 2025). The U.S. President made the remarks in an interview with Fox News aboard Air Force One en route to Alaska for a high-stakes summit meeting with Mr. Putin. The meeting concluded without any agreement on ending the Russia-Ukraine war. On Wednesday (August 13, 2025), U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had said if 'things don't go well' between Mr. Trump and Mr. Putin at the summit meeting, then secondary sanctions on India for purchasing Russian oil could go up. In an interview with Bloomberg, Mr. Bessent said, 'I think everyone has been frustrated with President Putin. We expected that he would come to the table in a more fulsome way. It looks like he may be ready to negotiate.' 'And we put secondary tariffs on the Indians for buying Russian oil. And I could see, if things don't go well, then sanctions or secondary tariffs could go up,' he added. On whether sanctions can go up or loosened, Mr. Bessent had said, 'Sanctions can go up, they can be loosened. They can have a definitive life. They can go on indefinitely.' Mr. Trump imposed tariffs totalling 50% on India, including 25% for Delhi's purchases of Russian oil that will come into effect from August 27. Responding to the tariffs, the Ministry of External Affairs has said that the targeting of India is unjustified and unreasonable. 'Like any major economy, India will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security,' it said.
