Amethi, 13 May (HS). While addressing a public meeting in Shukulpur village of Sangrampur block of Amethi Lok Sabha constituency, National General Secretary of Congress Party Priyanka Gandhi, while reminiscing her childhood memories, said that when I used to come, all the land here used to look white. When I asked my father, he used to tell me that there is a lot of salt in it, it is a desert and not a fertile land. Today when I come, I see greenery everywhere, this did not happen by itself, it was my father's work. A plan was made to make all the barren lands here fertile.
He said that when the cylinder of Rs 400 became available, the MP here sat on the cylinder in Delhi and told the media that we will go on strike. Now when she turned 12, she became silent. These people talk about women empowerment but women are being tortured and the one who has tortured them is being protected. A young woman was tortured in Unnao and these people saved the torturers. The same thing happened in Hathras, the pyre of that girl was burnt at night, her parents could not even see it. This is Modi ji's government in which your MP Smriti Irani is.
Priyanka spoke on the issue of stray animals
He said that no one had ever thought that they would work hard day and night and graze the crops and stray animals. There is no hearing from the farmers. We have got rid of stray animals in Chhattisgarh. If my government is formed then here too we will free the farmers from stray animals.
Priyanka Vadra said that there is no plan for the youth who are unemployed. There are 30 lakh posts lying vacant in the centre. If the intentions of the government are right then the policies are also right. Father's intentions were right. He used to come here with devotion and took care of everyone. It was then that major development works took place. The road connecting to Lucknow was built during the time of Congress. These people say that they are religious and worship Mother Cow, but you have seen the condition of the cow sheds where the cows are lying in the sun without fodder and water. I have seen dogs eating the wounds of cows.
He said that as soon as Smriti Irani came on stage, she started abusing us and our family. She calls a martyr like Rajiv ji a traitor. Modi ji is even better than that. Here the public is crying and Modi ji is seen on big platforms. The musical instruments, frills and kurtas are shining so clearly that the sisters don't know what they might be wearing to shine? Let us know so that we too can shine.
Priyanka Vadra said that my father used to come for campaigning and after that I used to cry. When people read his hands, he was relaxed and had wounds and looked tired. The kurta was also full of dirt. He used to roam around himself and sleep in the car at night. He used to come home after taking bath and leave within two hours and today your Prime Minister is wow! Hey, sometimes you should get down from the stage and say hello to the public, sometimes you should go to the fields and ask how the work is going on there? How are you earning? Once inside the house, see how the sisters are lighting the stove? How is the food being prepared? If they do not get two days' daily wages, the sisters sleep hungry. He would never have even asked. He would talk about many useless things and would not talk about even one thing. Your MP (Smriti Irani) has no work.
