BJP MP Ravi Kishan has drawn attention online after he mixed up the phrase “work from home" while backing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal to conserve fuel amid global energy concerns due to the ongoing war in the West Asia.

Speaking in an interview with PTI, the actor-turned-politician was referring to the government’s push for flexible work arrangements to reduce fuel consumption. However, he said “home from work is very important rather than work from home," in what appeared to be a slip of the tongue.

The comment quickly circulated on social media, with the clip being widely shared by users who pointed out the phrasing error. The phrase “work from home" is commonly used in reference to remote working arrangements.

The remarks were made in the context of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent appeal urging citizens and institutions to reduce fuel usage through various measures, including increased use of public transport, carpooling, electric vehicles, and working from home where feasible.

The Prime Minister’s suggestions come amid global disruptions in energy markets linked to tensions in West Asia, which have affected fuel prices and supply chains around the world.
