  "account": "CPI(M) Polit Bureau member B.V. Raghavulu criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's U.S.-friendly foreign policy, warning it would have detrimental effects on India's economy. Raghavulu called for Modi to adopt a more pragmatic approach and ensure India meets its energy needs without excessive reliance on the U.S. He accused Modi of being subservient to the U.S. while President Donald Trump demonstrated hostility towards India. Raghavulu urged the U.S. to condemn its aggressive actions and urged pressure on the country to cease its violations against Iran. The rising crude oil prices, now exceeding $100 per barrel, posed a significant strain on India's budget, prompting fears that these costs would ultimately be transferred to consumers. Additionally, Raghavulu condemned the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, alleging that it infringed upon democratic elections by arbitrarily categorizing millions of citizens as ineligible. He also denounced Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu for appeasing various groups in preparation for upcoming local body elections, predicting that the CPI(M) would collaborate with other like-minded parties to thwart the TDP-BJP-JSP alliance.",
