STORY | 'Success of PM's strategic oil diplomacy', BJP hails 30-day waiver to purchase Russian oil
After the US announced that it is issuing a temporary 30-day waiver to allow Indian refiners to purchase Russian oil, the BJP on Friday termed the development a success of the “strategic oil diplomacy" under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and said it's a “big egg on the face of anti-India Rahul Gandhi and the Congress���.

President Trump’s energy agenda has resulted in oil and gas production reaching the highest levels ever recorded.
To enable oil to keep flowing into the global market, the Treasury Department is issuing a temporary 30-day waiver to allow Indian refiners to purchase Russian oil. This deliberately short-term measure will not provide significant financial benefit to the Russian government as it only authorizes transactions involving oil already stranded at sea.
India is an essential partner of the United States, and we fully anticipate that New Delhi will ramp up purchases of U.S. oil. This stop-gap measure will alleviate pressure caused by Iran’s attempt to take global energy hostage.
The world has entered a volatile phase. Stormy seas lie ahead.
India’s oil supplies are under threat, with more than 40% of our imports transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The situation is even worse for LPG and LNG.
The conflict has reached our backyard, with an Iranian warship sunk in the Indian Ocean. Yet the Prime Minister has said nothing.
At a moment like this, we need a steady hand at the wheel.
Instead, India has a compromised PM who has surrendered our strategic autonomy.
Trump annouces India to stop buying Russian oil. When asked @PiyushGoyal says ask @DrSJaishankar who in turn says ask Goyal. Both these incompetent inverterbrates should be fired for playing passing the buck.

BJP MPs surrounded PM Dr Manmohan Singh, tore up bills on his face. Congress MP shielded him to protect him and then he continued speaking.
He didn’t run away from the house saying a threat to his life.
Godi media must watch this..
BJP has lost all pretentions that they've officially started giving open calls for minority genocide, that too by showing a chief minister who is under constitutional oath shooting Muslims down!
Why did BJP time this Muslim genocide post with Prime Minister Modi's visit to Malaysia, a Muslim-majority country and when he is enjoying the warm hospitality of their Muslim leadership? What's the message Modi is giving prime minister @anwaribrahim who laid out red carpet for him and the people of Malaysia, and to the Muslims in India and across the world? And what will be the implications of such extreme hatred done for narrow domestic political gains on Indians who work or settled permanently as minorities in almost all countries across the world? Will Modi and his failed administration who surrender before world powers call all of them back to 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' and rehabilitate? It's clear that national interest is their last priority.
@narendramodi@AmitShah Sack Himanta BS immediately and apologise for this criminal, unconstitutional act not worthy of public discourse.
SC should take Suo Moto notice of this & hold the functionaries of the BJP responsible for this post to account.
This is a serious criminal offence. Any opposition functionary putting up such a post would have landed him in jail under UAPA
The moment requires univocal condemnation. Your analysis and narratives can wait. Thoughts and prayers go out to those in grief and survivors.
#Pahalgam
I strongly condemn the cowardly terror attack on innocent tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir. The entire nation is united in fighting the scourge of cross-border terrorism.
These dastardly targeted attacks are a blot on humanity. News reports indicate that precious lives have been lost.
On behalf of the Congress party, my heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims. Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured.
India’s National Security is paramount and we urge the GOI to take corrective measures to ensure the same.
