Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has called on the people of his Parliamentary constituency in Guna to refrain from using petrol and diesel vehicles during his two-day visit. He emphasized the national duty to conserve fuel amidst global uncertainties, echoing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeals for fuel savings. Scindia highlighted the importance of responsible citizenship in conserving fuel, especially during times of economic pressures and fluctuating oil prices.
His message, conveyed through a Facebook post to residents of Guna, Ashoknagar, and Shivpuri, aims to garner support for his initiative to reduce fuel consumption during his constituency tour. Scindia expressed gratitude for the people’s affection and blessings, stating that collective efforts to save fuel would showcase responsible citizenship. He is set to engage with local communities, review development projects, and address public gatherings during his visit.
The appeal has gained traction on social media, eliciting a range of reactions from supportive comments to critical feedback. While many have lauded the minister’s call for fuel conservation, some have criticized the appeal, suggesting that Scindia should set an example by using public transport and carpooling. The ongoing efforts in India to lessen reliance on imported crude oil underscore the significance of fuel conservation in the country.
