UP Cabinet expansion: The Uttar Pradesh government witnessed a revamp in the cabinet as six new ministers took the oath at the Jan Bhavan in Lucknow. A day before the ministers took oath, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath met Governor Anandiben Patel on Saturday evening.

In a post on the social media platform X, Congress leader KC Venugopal said that the prime minister’s focus on “petty politics” has left the Indian economy vulnerable to an impending catastrophe as global oil supplies remain volatile.

His remarks come as many nations, from the US to neighboring Pakistan, face record-high fuel prices because of the Iran war fallout. India has mostly been insulated from the shock till now, though that may not last.
