[00:01:41]Modi's UAE visit is being seen as particularly important as it signals possible steps amid the widening oil crisis.

[00:03:21]Crude oil constitutes a large part of India's imports.

[00:03:24]And unfortunately, the region from which a large part of the world gets oil is today embroiled in conflict and war.

[00:03:38]And therefore, until the situation becomes normal, we all will have to take small resolutions together.

[00:03:53]I have also discussed this in Karnataka and Telangana yesterday.

[00:04:03]Today I am again emphasizing my demands in Gujarat and I have more rights over you. That's why I am going to say it with some authority.

[00:04:16][Applause] I appeal to every citizen of the country to reduce the use of petrol and diesel wherever possible.

[00:04:35]Use the metro.

[00:04:41]Use electric buses and public transport more.

[00:04:48]Promote car pooling.

[00:04:53]Those who have a car should carry more people in one vehicle.

[00:05:01]Those who have EVs also came forward to help others.

[00:05:09]Friends, digital technology has now made so many things easy. The help of technology will also be very beneficial for us.

[00:05:24]It is important that virtual meetings and work from home be given priority in both government and private offices.

[00:05:40][Applause] I would also urge some schools to work on arranging online classes for some time.

[00:05:51]Friends, not only fuel but also edible oil also spends a lot of foreign currency of the country.

[00:06:04]If we exercise some restraint, we can reduce the consumption of cooking oil. So this will benefit both the country and our health and I call the people of Surat special.

[00:06:32]Similarly, today I request all the brothers and sisters of the society that I am a member of your family and in this you will have to come forward and help me. A huge amount of money from the country also goes abroad on the import of gold.

[00:07:01]I would request all of you countrymen to postpone the purchase of gold until the situation becomes normal, there is no need for gold.

[00:07:18][Appreciation] Friends, today the need of the hour is that we make Vocal for Local a mass movement.

[00:07:39]Adopt local products instead of foreign goods. Let us empower the entrepreneurs of our village, our city and our country.
